Polymeric nanomicelles that allow control of the location of porphyrin moieties in the coronas, cores, or cores and coronas have been designed and reliably constructed by self‐ assembly of porphyrin‐centered star polymers (see Figure). These photofunctional nanomicelles are of interest for advanced materials, pharmaceutical, and medical applications.
