A novel amphiphilic diblock copolymer, consisting of dendronized polymethacrylate‐b‐poly(ethylene oxide), was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization; from it, micellelike aggregates of various morphologies, prepared under near‐equilibrium conditions, were studied with transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of various factors on the aggregate morphologies of the amphiphilic copolymer, such as the water content, the copolymer concentration, and the type of common solvent, were investigated systematically. The unique architecture of the block copolymer led to morphological variety and peculiarities such as dendritic and shuttle‐shaped aggregates, which could be attributed to the effective packing of the bulky side chains, that is, another driving force for the aggregates.
