On page 1204 , Mark W. Grinstaff and co‐workers report the triggered release of drug from an electrospun superhydrophobic mesh using ultrasound, by displacing an entrapped air layer. The air layer within the superhydrophobic meshes is characterized using direct visualization and B‐mode imaging. Drug‐loaded superhydrophobic meshes are cytotoxic in an in vitro assay after ultrasound treatment.
