This work investigated the effect of glyco-regioisomerism of glycopolymers on their dynamic interaction with benzoxaborole-containing polymers. Two kinds of glycopolymers, P-1-Gal and P-6-Gal, i.e. galactoside pendant group linked to the identical main chain through its anomeric （C1） and C6-hydroxyl group position, respectively, were studied. We found that P-6-Gal showed stronger binding strength to the PNIPAM-co-PBOB polymer than P-1-Gal did, which controlled the macroscopic property of the resultant hydrogels at a molecular level.
