A highly ordered organic inorganic nanocomposite can be synthesized by photopolymerizing an inverse hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal phase consisting of an amphiphilic monomer and organic crosslinker as the organic matrix and a sol‐gel silica precursor solution as the hydrophilic component (see Figure). In situ silica condensation gives the ordered nanocomposite. A simple example is discussed.
