Well‐defined poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) were synthesized by normal and activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using a new ionic liquid monomer, N ‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)‐tris[2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl]ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (VBTA + Tf 2 N − ). ATRP was also used for the preparation of PIL block copolymers using di‐functional PIL macroinitiators. Differential scanning calorimetry measurement showed the polyVBTA + Tf 2 N − had a rather low glass transition temperature of −43°C. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
