A facile approach to unique 3D, patterned polymer brushes is based on visible‐light‐mediated controlled radical polymerization. The temporal and spatial control of the polymerization allows the patterning of polymer brushes from a uniform initiating layer using a simple photomask (see picture). Furthermore, gradient polymer brushes, patterned block copolymers, and complex 3D structures can be obtained by modulating light intensity.
