Enhancing the intermolecular interactions between micelles by introducing a strong π–π stacking moiety and flexible spacers of appropriate length results in the formation of disklike micelles that can maintain their monomolecule‐layered structures even when being transferred to hydrophilic substrates (see AFM image, 3 μm×3 μm).
