Summary: We propose and demonstrate the utility of an interfacial living/controlled (reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer, RAFT) radical miniemulsion polymerization in nano‐encapsulation. The principles and methodology behind this technique are readily scalable and highly efficient. The living/controlled nature of the system offers great opportunities to tune the properties of the polymer shell‐like thickness, surface functionality, molecular weight, and inner‐wall functionality by simply using a semi‐continuous polymerization technique.
