Cover: Exotic morphologies of block copolymers in solution have been reported based on TEM imaging. This raises important questions: Do these morphologies really exist in solution? Or are they formed only during the TEM sample preparation? The current study brings attention to the importance of combining different methods including LLS, freeze‐drying, and TEM to confirm block copolymer micelle morphologies in solution when cryogenic TEM is not available.
