A supramolecular hydrogel of bile salts triggered by single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be extended 50‐fold along the direction of additional stretching force and has excellent viscoelastic properties. The hydrogel is suitable for fabrication of SWCNT‐based nanopatterns and devices by a top‐down process. The supramolecular hydrogel has the potential for use in rheological materials and in flexible electronics applications.
