Abstract

Abstract : Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly is a facile approach for accessing polymeric nanoparticles based on amphiphilic polymers at high concentration and in a scalable fashion. In their Communication on page 622, S. Lecommandoux, C. Bonduelle, and co‐workers present the use of aqueous ring‐opening polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (ROPISA) of N ‐carboxyanhydrides to prepare well‐defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers that simultaneously form anisotropic nanostructures.
