In this paper, recent developments in the chemical design of functional microgels are summarized. A wide range of available synthetic methods allows the incorporation of various reactive groups, charges, or biological markers inside the microgel network, thus controlling the deformation and swelling degree of the resulting smart microgels. These microgels can respond to various stimuli, such as temperature, pH, light, electric field, etc. and can show unique deformation behavior at the interface. Due to their switchability and interfacial properties, these smart microgels are being extensively explored for various applications, such as antifouling coatings, cell encapsulation, catalysis, controlled drug delivery, and tissue engineering.

“…A variety of microgels including polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyacrylamide (PAAm), PNIPAM, and PHEMA, decorated with different functionalities, have been developed by using miniemulsion process . Readers are suggested to refer several research articles, review articles, and book chapters for detailed information on microgel synthesis by miniemulsion polymerization . This method not only provides the possibility of designing highly charged microgel particles but also the microgels based on hydrophilic monomers can be prepared via inverse miniemulsion method .…”

Here, a spotlight is shown on aqueous microgel particles which exhibit a great potential for various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cell imaging, and tissue engineering. Herein, different synthetic methods to develop microgels with desirable functionality and properties along with degradable strategies to ensure their renal clearance are briefly presented. A special focus is given on the ability of microgels to respond to various stimuli such as temperature, pH, redox potential, magnetic field, light, etc., which helps not only to adjust their physical and chemical properties, and degradability on demand, but also the release of encapsulated bioactive molecules and thus making them suitable for drug delivery. Furthermore, recent developments in using the functional microgels for cell imaging and tissue regeneration are reviewed. The results reviewed here encourage the development of a new class of microgels which are able to intelligently perform in a complex biological environment. Finally, various challenges and possibilities are discussed in order to achieve their successful clinical use in future.

“…Moreover, there are polymeric systems responsive to more than three stimuli. Tuncer et al 126 prepared microgels of a water‐soluble monomer 2‐( N ‐morpholino) ethyl methacrylate via emulsion polymerization, which exhibited a multi‐responsive behavior by responding to solution pH, temperature, ionic strength, type of dispersing media, and magnetic field. Cao et al 127 reported the synthesis of a quadruple‐stimuli‐responsive block copolymer sensitive to pH, temperature, light, and reducing agents, as demonstrated by TEM and DLS analysis.…”

Stimuli‐responsive materials in general and pH‐responsive polymers in particular have gained increasing interest during the last two decades. Their unique properties, which arise from their ability to exhibit sharp and reversible changes in response to environmental pH conditions, have made them suitable for various applications such as drug delivery and specific body‐site targeting, sensing and actuation, membrane functionalization, separation techniques, as well as in agriculture and food industry and even chemical industries. In the present review, the focus is on the general characteristics of pH‐responsive polymers in terms of their origin, chemical composition, and preparation. Moreover, some of the important and recent applications are reported and discussed.
