In article number 1800846 , Hiroshi Yabu, Guillaume Delaittre, and co‐workers propose a simple procedure to prepare nanoparticles with surface‐expressed reactive patches and corresponding nanodiscs by a nanoprecipitation technique with functional block copolymers. The surface pattern formation is controlled by the preparation conditions. Spatially confined functionalization is demonstrated by grafting model thiol compounds. These nanomaterials are structurally approaching biological particles and are interesting building blocks for colloidal assemblies.
