Hidemitsu Furukawa, Takaya Sato, and co‐workers describe a highly robust and low frictional double‐network ion gel in article number 1700074 . Ionic liquids (ILs) provide robustness on lubricant gels. Double network hydrogels with high toughness and low friction have prevented their industrial usage by water evaporation. The combination of ILs and its compatible polymers result in an ion gel with high compression strength (30 MPa) and stability under high temperature (80 °C) or vacuum (2.2 × 10 −4 Pa).
