Front Cover : A block copolymer containing UV‐addressable benzophenone moieties within the hydrophobic block is synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The block copolymer is utilized in a self‐assembly non‐solvent induced phase separation process to obtain an integral asymmetric membrane, which can be stabilized upon UV‐ irradiation revealing enhanced solvent and pressure resistance.
