Boron‐rich nanoparticles (boron content ca. 15–20 wt%) of designed size and shape were prepared and studied as promising boron‐delivery agents in nanomedicine. The biocompatible rod‐, worm‐, and sphere‐like particles based on ion pairing of block copolymers with dodecaborate nano‐ions were tested for internalization using human glioblastoma and cervical carcinoma cell lines.
