The bends : Surface modification of multi‐compartmental microcylinders by spatio‐selective click chemistry and subsequent surface‐initiated atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) yield novel amphiphilic microcylinders (see scheme). Depending on the aspect ratio of the microcylinders, they can be bent or coiled.
