Poly(ethylene glycol)‐ block ‐poly(acrylic acid) (PEG‐PAA) is modified by 3‐aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) with different modification degrees, such as PEG 114 ‐ b ‐(PAA 0.37 ‐ co ‐PAAPBA 0.63 ) 170 , PEG 114 ‐ b ‐(PAA 0.23 ‐ co ‐PAAPBA 0.77 ) 170 and PEG 114 ‐ b ‐(PAA 0.02 ‐ co ‐PAAPBA 0.98 ) 170 . Micelles self‐assembled from these three copolymers possess glucose‐responsiveness at varying pH values. Micelles self‐assembled from PEG 114 ‐ b ‐(PAA 0.37 ‐ co ‐PAAPBA 0.63 ) 170 have glucose‐responsiveness at the physiological pH (7.4), endowing them with potential applications in the treatment of diabetes. 11 B magic‐angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance ( 11 B MAS NMR) analysis indicates that interactions between PAAPBA segments and PAA segments induce boron changes from the trigonal planar form to the tetrahedral form, resulting in glucose‐responsiveness of PEG 114 ‐ b ‐(PAA 0.37 ‐ co ‐PAAPBA 0.63 ) 170 micelles at pH 7.4.
