The evolution of particle morphology occurring during polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) of a block copolymer poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate)‐b‐poly(benzyl methacrylate) (POEGMA‐b‐PBzMA) is studied. A well‐controlled reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymeri...
