Block copolymer micelles have been employed as nanosized reactors in which single gold particles were formed. Films can be produced by a process consisting of four steps. Monolayers of hexagonally assembled micelles (see Figure and this month's cover) can be prepared with rather regularly arranged, size‐controlled Au nanoparticles. The method of preparation and the factors influencing control of the process are presented.
