Abstract
Spherical microparticles, capable of responding to magnetic fields, were prepared by encapsulating dextran-coated AgNPs nanoparticles into chitosan Polyaniline (PANI) microspheres template. The obtained magnetic microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the microspheres were formed and demonstrated magnetic behavior in an applied magnetic field. In addition, magnetite particles were well encapsulated and the composite particles have high magnetite content, which was more than 50%.
