Porous microcapsules formed from polymer‐peptide conjugated macromolecules (see figure) are synthesized by the innovative conjunction of microfluidics with block copolymer self‐assembly in flow‐ focusing microchannel. Reversibility of surface nanopores and encapsulation efficiency is investigated in detail.
