Summary : The paper provides experimental results about an easy and versatile method to produce amphiphilic block copolymers, block copolymer particles, and even inorganic – polymeric nano‐composites via aqueous heterophase polymerization. Special emphasis is placed on the morphology and colloidal properties of some non‐ionic di‐ and triblock copolymer particles with poly(ethylene glycol) of 10 6 g/mol molecular weight as hydrophilic block as well as di‐stimuli‐responsive block copolymers containing both a poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) and a poly(ionic liquid) block.
