Also contains definition of: gel microparticle
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03901
Particle of @G02600@ of any shape with an @E02191@ of approximately \(0.1\) to \(100\ \unicode[Times]{x3BC}\text{m}\).
Note:
The definition proposed here is recommended for its @P04799@ and because it distinguishes between a microgel and a @NT07521@.
