Three ionic monomers based on a 1‐vinylimidazolium cation, 1‐vinyl‐3‐methylimidazolium methyl sulfate, 1‐vinyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium ethyl sulfate, and 1‐vinyl‐3‐propylimidazolium propyl sulfate are synthesized and characterized by thermal and spectroscopic methods. The ionic‐liquid monomers (ILMs) are prepared using a halide‐free route under ambient conditions by the quaternization reaction of 1‐vinylimidazoles with alkyl sulfates. Through free‐radical polymerization and rheology analysis, solid freestanding linear polymeric‐ionic‐liquid (PILs) films are obtained with a tanδ value as low as 0.180. After polymerization, thermal methods show the linear PILs to possess a thermal stability of up to 340 °C, while rheology analysis reveals the films to have a storage moduli value as high as 4.64 × 106 Pa.
