title: Magnetic capsules and pickering emulsions stabilized by core-shell particles.
abstract: Polystyrene-covered magnetic iron oxide particles (referred to as FeO(x)@PS) with different shell thickness are used as a novel type of nanostructured stabilizers in the preparation of magnetoresponsive Pickering emulsions. Microscopical methods (optical microscope and flow particle image analyzer) and magnetic characterization (vibrating sample magnetometry) were applied to investigate how the properties of the produced magnetic capsules are influenced by the solid concentration and the molar mass of the polymeric shell. We demonstrate the potential of these emulsions for possible applications, such as transporting and release systems.
