A simple yet multifaceted approach to create patterned films of conducting polymers with various geometries and surface chemistries is presented by S. Majd and co‐workers on page 2782. In this approach, electropolymerization through hydrogel stamps enables micropatterning of conducting polymers with multiple chemistries in a single‐step and solution‐free process. These patterned polymer films are able to encapsulate bioactive molecules such as antibodies or proteins, and can serve as a sensing platform.
