“…Repeat units of opposite charge can also be introduced as (or within) a third block, leading to spheres, worms, vesicles, and lamella. 45,163,164 Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Cai and co-workers 165 recently established a well-considered seeded RAFT-PIESA protocol that allowed the preparation of multicompartmentalized micelles, nanosheets, and nanocages. This work is based on the synthesis of a positively charged diblock copolymer in the presence of an oppositely charged nonreactive diblock copolymer sphere.…”

“…72 The discussed development of new PISA protocols clearly enables the preparation of more complex inhomogeneous nano-objects. 165 It is worth to investigate the in situ self-assembly mechanism of these nextgeneration nanoparticles with elaborate techniques such as SAXS. This analysis method enables in situ assessment of a dispersed nanoparticle morphology.…”

Electrostatically coassembled micelles constitute a versatile class of functional soft materials with broad application potential as, for example, encapsulation agents for nanomedicine and nanoreactors for gels and inorganic particles. The nanostructures that form upon the mixing of selected oppositely charged (block co)polymers and other ionic species greatly depend on the chemical structure and physicochemical properties of the micellar building blocks, such as charge density, block length (ratio), and hydrophobicity. Nearly three decades of research since the introduction of this new class of polymer micelles shed significant light on the structure and properties of the steady-state association colloids. Dynamics and out-of-equilibrium processes, such as (dis)assembly pathways, exchange kinetics of the micellar constituents, and reaction-assembly networks, have steadily gained more attention. We foresee that the broadened scope will contribute toward the design and preparation of otherwise unattainable structures with emergent functionalities and properties. This Viewpoint focuses on current efforts to study such dynamic and out-of-equilibrium processes with greater spatiotemporal detail. We highlight different approaches and discuss how they reveal and rationalize similarities and differences in the behavior of mixed micelles prepared under various conditions and from different polymeric building blocks.

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is an increasingly popular method of controlled radical polymerization and remarkable advances is made in recent years. This polymerization technique offers great chances for more sustainable routes to obtain tailor‐made polymers with high precision. This article may be of interest not only for readers familiar with the technique, but also to newcomers to the field or colleagues, who are looking for more sustainable or safer polymerization techniques to obtain an extensive number of possible polymer structures. After an introduction to RAFT polymerization, different novel paths to carry out RAFT polymerization are discussed in terms of their potential and also advancements in the polymerization technology such as polymerization induced self‐assembly or carrying out the polymerization in continuous flow reactors are highlighted. At the end some upcoming application areas of polymers prepared by RAFT are presented.
