Abstract Co‐localization of monomers, crosslinkers, and chain‐transfer agents (CTA) within self‐assembled bilayers in an aqueous suspension enabled the successful directed assembly of nanocapsules using a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process without compromising the polymerization kinetics. This study uncovered substantial influence of the organized medium on the course of the reaction, including differential reactivity based on placement and mobility of monomers, crosslinkers, and CTAs within the bilayer.
