In article number 1905399, Leonie Barner, Christopher Barner‐Kowollik, and co‐workers present visible‐light triggered cross‐linking of photo‐active prepolymers, which induces particle formation without the need for any additives such as stabilizers, bases, or catalysts. The particles are both highly narrow‐disperse and have a tunable size range, providing powerful possibilities for advanced microsphere design.
