We will discuss the role played by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in uderstanding the physical properties of the intracluster medium. While the SZ effect has been considered widely for its cosmological purposes when combined with multiwavelength observations the SZ effect data can also be used to understand the nature and evolution of the ICM including its thermal structure and the presence of nonthermal plasma. We also discuss future opportunities on this aspect involving observations from the planned South Pole Telescope Planck mission and various other attempts to image the SZ effect in galaxy clusters using wide-field bolometer arrays and other techniques. We will also explore the connection between gas in clusters and the general intergalactic medium and how one can use detailed wide-field SZ maps beyond those towards individual clusters to study such possibilities.
