The synthesis of a rapidly forming redox responsive poly(ferrocenylsilane)‐poly(ethylene glycol) (PFS‐PEG)‐based hydrogel is described, achieved by a thiol‐Michael addition click reaction. PFS bearing acrylate side groups (PFS‐acryl) was synthesized by side group modification of poly(ferrocenyl(3‐iodopropyl)methylsilane) (PFS‐I) and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and FT‐IR spectroscopy. The equilibrium swelling ratio, morphology, rheology, and redox responsive properties of the PFS‐PEG‐based hydrogel are reported.
