Common natural and synthetic high‐strength materials (such as rubber, plastics, ceramics, and metals) undergo the occurrence of poor deformability. Achieving high strength and large deformation simultaneously is a huge challenge. Herein, high‐strength ionogels are developed through the synergy of fo...
