Enzyme‐catalyzed, ring‐opening polymerization of biodegradable aliphatic polyesters has successfully been applied to surface‐initiated polymerization (see Figure). Using lipase B as a catalyst, a thin film of poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(p‐dioxanone) (PPDX) on a gold substrate (after a formation of self‐assembled monolayers terminating in hydroxyl groups) is formed.
