title = "Fabrication of novel magnetic Janus microparticles",
abstract = "We have designed a novel technique for fabrication of magnetic Janus microparticles based on {"}trapping{"} the alignment of magnetite nanoparticles dispersed within the oil drops of polymerizable oil-in-water emulsion. We polymerized the oil drops after gelling the continuous aqueous phase in the presence of an external magnetic filed. This allowed us to produce magnetic Janus particles with optical and magnetic anisotropy which form unusual zigzag chains and structures when an external magnetic field is applied to a suspension of such particles. These novel microparticles retain high remanence magnetization and coercivity values indicative of ferromagnetic behavior, which indicates that the composite polymeric Janus microparticles posses a net magnetic dipole and behave like micro-magnets due to the {"}trapped{"} orientation of the magnetite nanoparticles in their polymeric matrix.",
