Three‐dimensional patterned electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ co ‐chlorotrifluoroethylene) P(VDF‐CTFE) microstructures with tailored architecture, morphology and wettability were fabricated using microfluidic strategies based on photolithography and replica molding techniques. On page 1802 (DOI: 10.1002/polb.24099 ) Vanessa F. Cardoso, Senentxu Lanceros‐Méndez, and colleagues show how such complex and novel platforms can represent innovative approaches for advanced strategies in a wide range of biotechnological applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, microfluidic, and sensors and actuators devices.
