Abstract
Magnetizable microspheres, optionally in aqueous dispersion, consisting of a matrix of at least one organopolysiloxane optionally bearing Si-vinyl groups or reactive and/or ionic units and magnetizable particles less than 300 angstroms in diameter encapsulated in the matrix. The magnetizable microspheres are prepared by homogenizing a solution of the organopolysiloxane and a magnetic fluid in the presence of water and a surfactant, removing the solvent for the organopolysiloxane and the carrier liquid of the magnetic fluid, and at least partially removing the water. The magnetizable microspheres are useful in biological applications as active supports.
