Monodisperse magnetic polymer colloids have been synthesized via a three‐step procedure and evidence for the formation of homogeneously distributed magnetite particles in the polymer matrix is presented (see Figure). Owing to their magnetic behavior and uniform particle size, these colloids are perfect candidates for the fabrication of photonic bandgap materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
