No (self‐)assembly required : Both spherical and anisotropic “dumbbell” polymer nanoparticles with targeted shapes in the <100‐nm size range were prepared by direct synthesis not relying on self‐assembly. Atom‐transfer polymerization techniques at high concentrations produce both spherical and dumbbell‐like nanoparticles directly from simple vinyl monomers on a multigram scale.
