Patch works ! Patchy block copolymer micelles with a corona consisting of two chemically different patches have been designed for the selective binding of catalytically active nanoparticles. The fabrication of nonwoven supports by electrospinning was combined with crystallization‐driven self‐assembly for precise control over micelle formation to prepare a new recyclable catalyst platform.
