General description

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in polymer/polystyrene microspheres (magnetic beads) are useful for cell separation and labelling. It may also be useful in tissue repair, magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement, hyperthermia, immunoassay, detoxification of biological fluids, drug delivery.
Magnetic polystyrene particles

Application

Micro particles based on polystyrene, magnetic has been used to deposit polyelectrolytes (PE), poly(allylamine hydrochloride), and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PAH/PSS) onto negatively charged magnetic polystyrene (PS) microparticles, to prepare PE-functionalized microparticles, for the fabrication of a biohybrid algal microswimmer toward biomedical applications.

Nature presents intriguing biological swimmers with innate energy harvesting abilities from their local environments. Use of natural swimmers as cargo delivery agents presents an alternative strategy to transport therapeutics inside the body to locations otherwise difficult to access by traditional
