To take advantage of the respective character of methylcellulose (MC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and alginate, novel physically cross‐linked methylcellulose/Fe‐alginate‐g‐PVA/PVA (MC/Fe‐Alg‐g‐PVA/PVA) microgels were prepared by emulsification/thermal gelation/freezing–thawing/ionic cross‐linking technique. Subsequently, some ferrous ions bound in the microgels were transformed into magnetite via in situ self oxidation. A model enzyme α ‐amylase was immobilized into microgels by direct adsorption. The release behavior of α ‐amylase indicated that the obtained complex microgels were magnetic‐, temperature‐, and pH‐ triple sensitive. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
