Controlled synthesis of rod–coil block copolymers is possible with a new macroinitiator for “living” nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization (NMRP). The synthesis of the new macroinitiator which contains a rodlike, conjugated poly( p ‐phenylene vinylene) block (see picture) is described. Electron microscopy imaging indicates microphase separation of the resulting block copolymer when cast from chloroform.
