The realization of a stretchable ionic gel conductor that is transparent, water processable, self‐healable, and thermally stable, through the attachment of ionic side chains onto a polymer backbone, is described in article number 1906679 by Taiho Park, Pooi See Lee, and co‐workers. A thermally stable actuator, stable up to 100 °C, and a deformable self‐healable thermal sensor are achieved. Furthermore, the water‐soluble ionic conductor can be processed for printability due to long pot life.
