Cover: A two‐step surface‐initiated polymerization of 2‐oxazolines yields defined polymer bottle‐brush brush coatings. Variation of the side chain length, hydrophilicity of the side chain polymer and polarity of the terminal groups results in a fine‐tuning of the bioadhesion. The range spans from highly adsorbing surfaces to virtually non‐fouling coatings. Further details can be found in the article by N. Zhang, T. Pompe,* I. Amin, R. Luxenhofer, C. Werner, and R. Jordan* on page 926 .
