Front Cover : In article 1800216 by Hidemitsu Furukawa and co‐workers, ionic gels utilizing a thiol‐ene reaction in ionic liquid (IL) are developed and 3D printed for the first time. The gels are very soft, transparent and conductive. The properties of the gels are highly dependent on the constituent end‐crosslinkers functionalities, acrylate monomer chain length, and IL content. The 3D printed structures of the gels can be obtained up to the microscale resolution.
