Photoactivated template-based synthesis of fluorescent Ag nanoclusters in the interior microgel particles has been demonstrated. Photoluminescence intensity and emission wavelength varies with time photoactivated synthesis. Optical properties photogenerated strongly depend on acidity medium. The resulting hybrid microgels show stable photoluminescence strong response to external stimuli.
