A simple strategy is provided to construct a novel pH and sugar-induced shape memory hydrogel based on the dynamic phenylboronicacid-diolinteractions formed byphenylboronic acid modified sodium alginate (Alg-PBA) and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA). The dynamic PBA-diol ester bonds would serve as temporary crosslinks and stabilize the deformed shape of the hydrogel.The disassociation of the PBA-diol ester bonds is explored in acidic conditions and aqueous solutions of glucose and fructose, which endow the hydrogel with shape memory performances.
