The Cover Feature shows the development of bi‐functional immobilized graft polymer catalysts and their recirculating flow reaction. In their Communication, Y. Okuno et al. demonstrate the efficient flow aldol reaction using g‐Pro1‐3 that was easily synthesized simply by modifying a commercially available polymer. Moreover, they presented a straightforward catalyst immobilization method that allows two different catalysts located on different graft polymers to be introduced separately onto the same polymer by conducting two successive steps of radiation‐induced graft polymerization process (RIGP). In RIGP‐type polymer catalysts, the two different functional graft polymer sites interact with each other and improve the reaction efficiency in the flow aldol reaction. This study provides a new design method to immobilize multi‐functional catalysts into the same polymer by two successive steps of RIGP.More information can be found in the Communication by Y. Okuno et al.
