We took an advantage of the strong phase separation between a water‐soluble crystalline polymer as a matrix and hydrophobic polymers as minor components. We demonstrated the prepartion of water‐soluble polystyrene (PS) particles, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)‐functionalized PS particles for protein separation, and semiconducting poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) particles. The sizes of the particles could be controlled by adjusting the film thickness and weight fraction of the minor component polymers in the blend film. It provides a simple facile way to prepare polymer particles in a continous process.
