      abstract     = {The structural properties of model microgel particles are
                      investigated by molecular dynamics simulations applying a
                      coarse-grained model. A microgel is comprised of a regular
                      network of polymers internally connected by tetra-functional
                      cross-links and with dangling ends at its surface. The
                      self-avoiding polymers are modeled as bead-spring linear
                      chains. Electrostatic interactions are taken into account by
                      the Debye–Hückel potential. The microgels exhibit a quite
                      uniform density under bad solvent conditions with a rather
                      sharp surface. With increasing Debye length, structural
                      inhomogeneities appear, their surface becomes fuzzy and, at
                      very large Debye lengths, well defined again. Similarly, the
                      polymer conformations change from a self-avoiding walk to a
                      rod-like behavior. Thereby, the average polymer radius of
                      gyration follows a scaling curve in terms of polymer length
                      and persistence length, with an asymptotic rod-like behavior
                      for swollen microgels and self-avoiding walk behavior for
                      weakly swollen gel particles.},
