The synthesis of a versatile “click” chemistry precursor of functional polystyrene nanoparticles is reported. The resulting nanoparticles thereof offer inherent characteristics of ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles (size ≈4 nm) plus interesting functionalization possibilities, opening the door to new hybrid, soft nano‐objects, bridging the gap between synthetic and natural polymers.
