A simplified one‐pot and less harmful method has been introduced for the synthesis of borinic acid monomer. The corresponding borinic acid polymer (PBA) has been prepared by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Property investigations confirm the characteristics of PBA as a new type of “smart material” in the field of thermo‐responsive polymer. The potential application of PBA in the field of enzymatic biofuel cell has been illustrated with a wide open circuit potential of 0.92 V.
