Abstract Solvent‐free elastomers, unlike gels, do not suffer from solvent evaporation and leakage in practical applications. However, it is challenging to realize the preparation of high‐toughness (with both high stress strain) ionic elastomers. Herein, linear poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) elastomers are constructed via supramolecular networks formed by polymerization halometallate liquid (IL) monomers, without any chemical crosslinking. The obtained PIL exhibit strength (16.5 MPa), Young's modulus (157.49 toughness (130.31 MJ m −3 ), crack propagation insensitivity (fracture energy 243.37 kJ −2 owing enhanced intermolecular noncovalent interactions chains.

Abstract Supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs), crosslinked by noncovalent bonds, have emerged as reorganizable and recyclable polymeric materials with unique functionality. However, poor stability is an imperative challenge faced SPNs, because SPNs are susceptible to heat, water, and/or solvents due the dynamic reversible nature of bonds. Herein, design a cooperative network (NCoN) simultaneously stabilize reinforce reported, resulting in ultrastable, superrobust, SPN. The NCoN constructed multiplying H‐bonding sites tuning conformation/geometry segment optimize multivalence cooperativity H‐bonds. rationally designed high conformational compliance favors formation tightly packed H‐bond arrays comprising higher‐density stronger Consequently, H‐bonded crosslinks display covalent crosslinking effect but retain on‐demand dynamics reversibility. resultant ultrastable SPN not only displays remarkable resistance heat up 120 °C, water soaking, broad spectrum solvents, also possesses superhigh true stress at break (1.1 GPa) ultrahigh toughness (406 MJ m −3 ). Despite covalent‐network‐like stability, through activating its reversibility high‐polarity solvent heated threshold temperature.
