Summary: Thermosensitive polymer nanocontainers were formed by self‐assembly of diblock copolymers poly(2‐cinnamoylethyl methacrylate)‐block‐poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PCEMA‐block‐PNIPAM) and subsequent photo‐crosslinking of the PCEMA shells. It was found that the diameter of the nanocontainers ranges from tens of nanometers to thousands of nanometers, depending on the self‐assembly conditions. The phase transition of the nanocontainers takes place at 32 °C; the structural changes are reversible in a heating and cooling cycle.
