Complex compartmentalization of biological molecules such as proteins, is achieved by in-situ folding process during polymerization. Multiblock copolymer self-assembly has attracted attention to mimic multi-compartmentalized nature in soft nano-objects. We report multiblock polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). We explore multiple chain extension in PISA via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization with different chain sequences. By comparing the resulting micellar morphologies to those obtained from pre-synthesized block copolymers, we will discuss the importance of kinetic pathways for the control of micellar structure.
