Abstract
A new polymerizable and dynamic deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride and α-lipoic acid is proposed. By virtue of thermally-initiated ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic disulfide and multiple dynamic interactions (disulfide, hydrogen, and coordination bonds), multifunctional ionogels with good comprehensive properties are developed and explored as potential flexible conductors.
