A hetero‐bifunctional gelator composed of two different polymerizable groups , acryl and diacetylene, and used to gelate an acrylic monomer has been prepared. The photopolymerization of the organogel formed in hexyl methacrylate produces a free‐standing film, in which fluorescent polydiacetylene nanofibers are embedded in a poly(hexyl methacrylate) matrix (see figure).
