Summary: The present study provides some basic concepts of functionalization of diblock copolymer (BC) nanotemplates for optical applications. It is focused on the polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (PS‐ b ‐P4VP) building medium which is suitable for hydrogen bonding, undergoes phase segregation, and is well‐accessible. Two techniques are described and demonstrated on several dye complexes with PS‐ b ‐P4VP. Relation between optical properties and thin film structure is tentatively studied in dependence on solvent effects in thin films.
