An international journal to further the chemical sciencesRSC Advances is an international, peer-reviewed, online journal covering all of the chemical sciences, including interdisciplinary fields.The criteria for publication are that the experimental and/ or theoretical work must be high quality, well conducted adding to the development of the field.Thank you for your assistance in evaluating this manuscript.
Guidelines to the refereesReferees have the responsibility to treat the manuscript as confidential. Please be aware of our Ethical Guidelines, which contain full information on the responsibilities of referees and authors, and our Refereeing Procedure and Policy.It is essential that all research work reported in RSC Advances is well-carried out and wellcharacterised. There should be enough supporting evidence for the claims made in the manuscript.
When preparing your report, please:• comment on the originality and scientific reliability of the work • state clearly whether you would like to see the article accepted or rejected and give detailed comments (with references, as appropriate) that will both help the Editor to make a decision on the article and the authors to improve it
Please inform the Editor if:• there is a conflict of interest • there is a significant part of the work which you are not able to referee with confidence • the work, or a significant part of the work, has previously been published • you believe the work, or a significant part of the work, is currently submitted elsewhere • the work represents part of an unduly fragmented investigationFor further information about RSC Advances, please visit: www.rsc.org/advances or contact us by email: advances@rsc.org. Enclosed please find the manuscript entitled "Novel synthesis of core-shell urchin-like ZnO coated carbonyl iron microparticles with enhanced magnetorheological activity". The paper is intended for publication in RSC advances if you consider it suitable. We believe that this article describing novel synthesis of inorganic-inorganic core-shell particles with unique urchin-like morphology having extraordinary rheological properties under applied magnetic field and further, exhibiting considerably enhanced sedimentation and thermo-oxidation stability with great potential in wide areas of industrial applications. We also hope that article is matching with the scope of your journal categories "Inorganic" and "Rheology and colloids" and is attractive enough in the same time.

ABSTRACTThe overall stability (thermo-oxidation, sedimentation) of the MR suspensions is a crucial problem decreasing their potential applicability in the real life. In this study the unique functional coating of carbonyl iron (CI) particles with ZnO structures was presented in order to develop new MR suspension based on the core-shell ZnO/CI urchin-like dispersed particles. The two-step synthesis provides the suitable core-shell particles wit...
