Tridirectional conductivity in a polymeric material has been achieved. Nanoscale “wires” formed via hierarchical self‐organization of a basic block copolymer and a monomeric acid/alkylphenol complex establish a lamellar‐within‐lamellar superstructure (see Figure), resulting in a soft material with tunable conductivity and anisotropy.
