SAXS patterns recorded during the PISA synthesis of PGMA₂₉-PMOEMA₇₀ via RAFT aqueous emulsion polymerization of MOEMA at 10% w/w solids using the stirrable reaction cell (Figure 1). (a) Patterns recorded every 5 min from 0 to 120 min. (b) The corresponding plot of I(q) at q = 0.01 Å^–1 and the gradient at low q (0.005 ≤ q ≤ 0.015 Å^–1) vs time. (c) Patterns recorded each minute from 0 to 15 min. (d) The corresponding plot of I(q) at q = 0.025 Å^–1 vs time. The onset of micellar nucleation at 5–6 min is indicated by an arrow. Patterns are offset by an arbitrary factor to aid clarity in panels a and c.
