title: Hierarchical core/shell Fe3O4@SiO2@γ-AlOOH@Au micro/nanoflowers for protein immobilization.
abstract: A facile synthesis of monodispersed microparticles composed of superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4) cores, SiO(2) shell, hierarchical γ-AlOOH periphery with Au nanoparticles is reported. These particles are found to be useful for protein immobilization and bear resemblance to daisy flowers, and are hereafter termed "nanoflowers".
