Inside Cover : In article number 2100266, Chinnayan Kannan Pandiyarajan and Jan Genzer present the formation of substrate‐anchored polymer networks using a bi‐functional small molecular gelator that is both UV and thermally active. Any common polymer can be crosslinked (as long it contains a C–H bond) and anchored onto any substrate (as long as it includes either C–H bonds or –OH functionalities).
