Multicompartment polymeric nanocarriers which mimic the compartmentalized architecture of living cells have received considerable research attention in the biomedical field. The advancement of synthetic polymeric chemistry has allowed multicompartment polymeric nanocarriers to be tailored for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, encapsulated catalysis, and artificial cellular mimics. In this review, polymer‐based multicompartment nanocarriers (multicompartment micelles, multicompartment polymersomes, and capsosomes) have been discussed. This review focuses on multicompartment systems applied to biomedical applications over the last ten years. The synthetic procedures and structural properties that impact the specific application are also highlighted.
