Abstract In chemically fueled supramolecular materials, molecular self‐assembly is coupled to a fuel‐driven chemical reaction cycle. The fuel‐dependence makes the material dynamic and endows it with exciting properties like adaptivity and autonomy. In contrast to the large work on the self‐assembly of small molecules, we herein designed a diblock copolymer, which self‐assembles into transient micelles when coupled to a fuel‐driven chemical reaction cycle. Moreover, we used these transient block copolymer micelles to locally increase the concentration of hydrophobic reagents and thereby function as a transient nanoreactor.
