Multiple suspension particles — a new morphology of polymer particles — are generated on the verge of colloidal stability in the course of redox‐initiated aqueous heterophase copolymerization. These particles consist of block copolymers which are arranged in the form of a micrometer‐sized poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) physical network as scaffold containing nanometer‐sized particles of hydrophobic polymers covalently attached.
