Kinetics of activator regenerated by electron transfer ( ARGET ) atom transfer radical polymerization ( ATRP ) of oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether methacrylate ( OEOMA ) and tert ‐butyl methacrylate ( tBMA ), and self‐assembly of the resulting amphiphilic block copolymers were studied via aqueous micellization to form spherical and flower‐like micellar aggregates.
