“…However,
this has only been achieved for a small minority of PISA syntheses, 55,79,80,101 whereas many RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization
formulations enable access to such “higher order” morphologies. 34,46,54,70,71,89,102,103 Most literature examples
of RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization syntheses only result in the
formation of kinetically-trapped spheres, even when targeting highly
asymmetric diblock compositions. 35,95,96,104,105 These observations are currently not properly understood and surely
warrant further work.…”
