In 1949 Baker described a group of polybutadiene particles of nanometric size
with the ability to swell in organic solvents in a paper entitled “Microgel, a new
macromolecule”. This is the first reported use of the term microgel, although
it is thought that Staudinger and Husemann were the first to prepare microgel
particles in the decade of the 1930’s. In contrast to the vague origin of these
particles, nowadays microgels are well stablished responsive materials in the
field of polymer science. The aim of this chapter is to present a brief description
of microgel suspensions, as well as their main features and applications within
the framework of this thesis.
