Electrochemical potential difference can be used to activate atom‐transfer radical polymerization catalysts in a sandwiched metal substrate with microliter volumes. In their Communication on page 9125 ff. , W. T. S. Huck, W. Liu, F. Zhou et al. use a single droplet solution (10 μL) to grow polymer brushes in controlled gradients and other complex shapes.
