Beyond the crew cut : Highly asymmetric block copolymers self‐assemble into microparticles with inverse morphologies far beyond the crew‐cut regime. These particles enclose highly ordered channel systems with simple cubic, double diamond, and hexagonally packed hollow‐hoop symmetry. The extensive interface and confinement of these particles could enable applications in the storage of cargo, templating, and chemical reactions.
