A facile route toward functionalized amphiphilic layered transition‐metal dichalcogenide nanosheets through in situ polymerization of polystyrene–polyacrylamide copolymers is established. The attachment of copolymers greatly affects their dispersibility in different kinds of solvents. Surface‐tension components, polarity, and coordination effects of the copolymer are found to be the main factors affecting the dispersibility.
