• Block copolymers, comprising polyether and polyolefin segments, are an important and promising category of functional materials. However, the lack of efficient strategies for the construction of polyether‐b‐polyolefin block copolymers have hindered the development of these materials. Herein, we propose a simple and efficient method to obtain various block copolymers through the copolymerization of epoxides and acrylates via bimetallic synergistic catalysis. The copolymerization of epoxides and acrylates proceeds in a sequence‐controlled manner, where the epoxides‐involved homo‐ or copolymerization occurs first, followed by the homopolymerization of acrylates initiated by the alkoxide species from the propagating polymer chain, thus yielding copolymers with a block structure. Notably, the high monomer compatibility of this powerful strategy provides a platform for synthesizing various polyacrylate‐based block copolymers comprising polyether, polycarbonate, polythiocarbonate, polyester, and polyurethane segments, respectively. A powerful strategy for efficiently constructing block copolymers, comprising polyacrylate‐ and epoxide‐derived polymer segments, via a bimetallic synergistic catalysis. The high compatibility with a wide range of monomers enables the synthesis of block copolymers with diverse structures.
