%X Microgels are three-dimensional, cross-linked polymeric networks swollen by a good solvent. Poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM)-based materials are of ongoing scientific interest due to their unique responsive behavior to external parameters such as temperature and solvent composition. Although PNIPAM microgels are the subject of a variety of application-oriented studies, fundamental aspects about the underlying processes of the responsive behavior are still under discussion. The present work focuses on the sensitivity of PNIPAM to the composition of water-methanol mixtures, the so-called cononsolvency effect. Here, the gels are swollen in either of the pure solvents, whereas water-rich mixtures around 20 mol
