Summary This paper reports on the synthesis of a new type of ionic polymers, including poly(ionic liquid)s, which contain 4‐methylthiazolium‐based ionic liquid pending groups along the polymer chain. The monomers were prepared via simple quaternization reaction of 4‐methyl thiazole with 4‐vinylbenzyl chloride and the subsequentanion exchange with various anions. Free radical polymerization and anion exchange reactions were employed to prepare several 4‐methylthiazolium‐based ionic polymers. These polymers show anion‐dependent tuneable solubility in water and organic solvents. In addition, the new polycations' ability to stabilize single‐walled as well as multi‐walled carbon nanotubes in water and acetone is presented.
