      abstract     = {This dissertation deals with the synthesis and modification
                      (in a direct or an indirect way) of microgels, which can act
                      as containers for metal ions or nanoparticles. The first
                      part of the work focuses on the synthesis of new catalytic
                      colloidal reactors. The challenge was to combine the
                      advantages of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis
                      and create hybrid microgels with defined properties. For
                      this the application of the thermo-sensitive hybrid
                      microgels, loaded with catalytic active centers was used. At
                      the reaction temperature, hybrid microgels have a big
                      surface area, are well dispersed and swollen in the solvent.
                      Each catalytic active center was open and accessible for the
                      reactants (advantage of the homogeneous catalysis). After
                      the catalytic reaction, the catalyst can be easily removed
                      from the reaction mixture (advantage of the heterogeneous
                      catalysis). This was achieved through the application of
                      microgels with defined CAT (critical aggregation
                      temperature) properties. After the implementation of the
                      reaction and cooling down of the reaction mixture,
                      aggregated hybrid microgel can be easily removed by
                      decantation. The hybrid microgels loaded with noble metals
                      complexes and nanoparticles show high catalytic activity and
                      can be reused several times. The second part of the work
                      focuses on the synthesis of conductive inks based on water
                      dispersed conductive hybrid microgels. This can be used for
                      the fabrication of smart textiles. In this work it was
                      possible to create continuous connections between hardware
                      components or to create high-flexible electrical circuits
                      for different applications. An approach to use a combination
                      of the microgel flexibility and metal conductivity has
                      significantly reduced the production costs and wearability
                      of the functional textiles. The electrical conductivity of
                      the hybrid microgel films loaded with silver was close to
                      the conductivity of bulk silver. Due to the high mechanical
                      properties, films can be bent for 5000 times without losing
                      conductivity.},
