Abstract
Dual‐responsive polymer microspheres with well‐defined core–shell structure (see Figure) have been prepared via a template polymerization process. The resulting microspheres consist of a silica‐coated magnetite core and a cross‐linked poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) shell, which enable them to exhibit both magnetic response and thermoresponse.Keywords
