Hybrid colloids with new and unusual morphologies (see figure) are formed by precipitation of calcium phosphates in the presence of hydrophobically modified double‐hydrophilic block copolymer micelles. The use of interactive polymer templates broadens the toolbox of chemistry required for the construction of complex structures on the nanometer and mesoscopic scale.
