Polymer micronetworks allowing stimuli‐induced, predefined, and spatially directed shape shifts. The temperature‐induced on‐demand switching of shape is introduced as a function of polyester carriers. With their adjustable switching temperature, micronetworks may serve as a model system to explore static and dynamic shape effects in biological systems.
