Asymmetric composite membranes with rectifying properties are developed by grafting pH‐stimulus‐responsive materials onto the top layer of the composite structure, which is prepared by two novel block copolymers using a phase‐separation technique. This engineered asymmetric composite membrane shows potential applications in sensors, filtration, and nanofluidic devices.
