A glue, based on dynamic covalent chemistry, with a strong adhesion (2.38 kg cm −2 ), water resistance and carbohydrate responsive reversibility is presented. Using surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP), glass and silicon surfaces were coated with copolymers functionalized with phenylboronic acids and catechols. In combination with microcontact printing (μCP) these polymer brushes give access to a carbohydrate responsive “supramolecular Velcro”.
