Thermoresponsive P(NIPAM-AA)/Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ microspheres with surface holes serving as carriers were prepared using p-Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ microspheres with a thermoresponsive copolymer. The p-Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ microspheres was obtained using a modified Pickering method and chemical etching. The surface pore size of p-Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ microspheres was in the range of 18.3 nm~37.2 nm and the cavity size was approximately 60 nm, which are suitable for loading and transporting biological macromolecules. P(NIPAM-AA) was synth ...[more]
