Stormy gels containing single‐walled carbon nanotubes as fillers: are ionic liquids the unique solvents able to accomplish this task? This work exploits a non‐ionic surfactant and a triblock copolymer as alternative dispersants to a well‐known ionic liquid. Impedance and rheological measurements highlight the formation of electrically conductive gels by adding nanotubes to the selected solvents. More information can be found in the Full Paper by G. Angelini et al. on page 546 ff.
