1. A method of preparing polymeric microparticles comprising the steps of:
subjecting a mixture containing a biocompatible polymer and a metal ion to a crosslinking reaction to form crosslinked polymer particles; and
further crosslinking the crosslinked polymer particles in a polar solvent phase including an organic crosslinking agent containing at least one reactive functional group,
wherein the biocompatible polymer comprises a mixture of hyaluronic acid and gelatin.

9. Polymeric microparticles having a core-shell structure, comprising:
a core including a first biocompatible polymer, a metal ion, and an organic crosslinking agent containing at least one reactive functional group; and
a shell surrounding all or part of the core and including a second biocompatible polymer, a metal ion, and an organic crosslinking agent containing at least one reactive functional group, wherein the first biocompatible polymer comprises hyaluronic acid, and the second biocompatible polymer comprises gelatin.
