Polymers with complex architectures , that is, non‐linear ones, have been studied extensively, as the properties of the polymer, including thermal properties and mechanical properties, are highly dependent on the chain topology. The article provides an overview of the current literature on mixed‐graft block copolymers, highlighting the control over grafting density and side chain sequence in each of the synthetic routes. The unique polymer architecture allows for encoding of multiple properties into the mixed‐graft block copolymer material. For more details, see Concept by M. Zhong et al. on page 8177 ff.
