Rigid cylindrical micelles are made from polyisoprene‐ block ‐poly(2‐cinnamoylethyl methacrylate)‐ block ‐poly( tert ‐butyl acrylate). The PI‐PCEMA‐P t BA polymer assembles to micelles with PI as the core, PCEMA as the shell, and P t BA as the corona. The cylindrical structure is fixed by photocrosslinking the PCEMA shell, and PCEMA‐P t BA nanotubes are obtained by degrading the PI core with ozone (see scheme).
