Beyond mere convenience: In large‐scale industrial processes for alkene polymerization the essentially homogeneous metallocene/activator catalyst systems are heterogenized (example shown) to improve polymer properties. New mesoporous and organic catalyst supports and their application in this field of catalysis are described.
