Immobilization of photocatalytic TiO 2 nanoparticles inside PDMS‐based microreactors was successfully attempted by sequential mussel‐inspired surface engineering of microchannels by using CA‐PVP and commercially available TiO 2 nanoparticles, respectively. TiO 2 ‐immobilized microreactors accomplished continuous photocatalytic degradation of MB for up to 30 days without releasing TiO 2 nanoparticles from the surface of the microchannels, confirming the robustness of TiO 2 ‐immobilization in photocatalysis media. Regeneration of microreactors with diminished photocatalytic activities was also possible with simple strong acid treatment, enabling efficient cleaning of used microreactors.
