Abstract By polymerisation of ethylene dimethacrylate with n‐butyllithium in solution reactive microgels have been obtained. These EDMA‐microgels are nearly spherical, have a broad distribution and are easily swellable in organic solvents. The macrogelation depends on the amount of solvent between the microgel particles.
