Magnetic, Fluorescent, and Copolymeric Silicone Microspheres

Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: . Here, polydimethylsiloxane microspheres (≈1 μm diameter) are synthesized using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, the first demonstration of a scalable synthetic procedure for crosslinked silicone microspheres. This continuous, aerosol process is also used to directly produce fluorescent, magnetic, and copolymeric derivatives; the potential biomedical applications of these microspheres are explored.
