Table 3.

Summary of the hydrodynamic radii of the homopolymer microgels in the swollen and collapsed state in combination with the maximum swelling ratio ${\alpha }_{\text{max}}$. The error of the radii corresponds to an estimated deviation of $5\%$. This value includes not only the inaccuracy of the measurement but also the very low polydispersity of the sample.
