An efficient way for covering various surfaces with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is discussed. In a first step, the material is coated with polydopamine (PDA) by air oxidation of dopamine. The resulting PDA layer acts as an initiator for ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide resulting in an outer PLA shell. Since PDA sticks to almost every solid material, the methodology has a wide scope. The strategy is demonstrated with magnetic nanoparticles and non‐magnetic powders.
