Abstract Coacervates are a highly relevant class of structures formed via liquid–liquid phase separation and new coacervate‐forming polymers sought after. Here, the formation simple coacervate droplets from double hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC) with combination poly(oligo ethylene glycol methacrylate) (POEGMA) 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline (POEtOx) without use external triggers or charges is shown. At high concentration 25 wt.%, DHBC forms sizes in low micrometre range. The have relatively stability over long period time only minor coalescence observed after 4 weeks. concentrations, no coacervation observed. Furthermore, copolymers monomers also do not show clearly indicating that architecture required to form desired structures. addition guest biomacromolecules at concentrations shows specific partitioning behaviour preference for polymer aqueous phase. enrichment observed, line common water‐in‐water (w/w) emulsions. These findings constitute direction systems interest biotechnology, synthetic cell environment mimics drug delivery.
