This review deals with nanoporous materials made from the self‐assembly of block copolymers with a special interest in the chemical functions covering the surface of their nanopores. A detailed overview of the existing methods and strategies to generate well‐defined organic functional groups covering the surface of the pore walls is provided. This further enables to finely tune the affinity of the pore walls and to perform well‐defined chemical reactions onto them, which is essential for further dedicated applications.
