A low‐temperature, low‐pressure polymer bonding technique for three‐dimensional assembly of microstructures (see Figure; scale bar 5 μm) based on carbon dioxide (CO 2 )‐enhanced chain entanglement near the polymer surfaces is presented. The environmentally benign utilization of supercritical CO 2 offers scope for the production of polymer‐based biomedical applications and devices.
