Enzyme catalysis is a mild, efficient, and selective technique that has many applications in organic synthesis as well as polymer synthesis. Here, a novel enzyme‐catalysis‐induced reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)‐mediated dispersion polymerization for preparing AB diblock copo...
