In this study, the uptake of oppositely charged guest molecules in a pH-responsive polyelectrolyte microgel modeled as a bead-spring network was systematically investigated. For this purpose, Monte Carlo simulations were used. To narrow down system complexity, the guest molecules were modeled as charged hard spheres.
