Core-shell microspheres refer to duo-layer or multilayer microspheres, which are widely used in drug delivery, microreactors, etc. Accurate manipulation of microspheres is a research hot spot, while traditional manipulation methods including ultrasonic manipulation and laser manipulation still face some limitations. In this study, magnetic core-shell microspheres were adopted to realize the accurate manipulation of microspheres. Combined with microfluidic technology, polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA)/FeO magnetic fluid was utilized as the core material and photosensitive acrylic resin became the shell material. After UV curing, a magnetic core-shell microsphere with an average size of 55 μm could be achieved, and the diameter was uniform and controllable. By adjusting the flow rate of the dispersed phase, the dual-core microspheres with different core particle sizes that ranged from 9.3 to 28.4 μm could be prepared. Experimental results showed that the prepared FeO/acrylic resin core-shell microspheres can be used as functionalized microspheres that have good magnetic response properties and self-assembly ability. In addition, the magnetic manipulation and self-assembly of the prepared core-shell microspheres were presented with different external magnetic fields. The magnetic core-shell microspheres have shown great potential in the fields of biomedical engineering and targeted delivery of drugs.

The development of fluorescent sensors with high sensitivity and fast response times is attracting the interest of more and more researchers. Herein, dual-emission ratiometric molecularly imprinted fluorescent encoded microspheres were fabricated and applied for the fast detection of norfloxacin. Core-shell-structured imprinted polymers with ZIF-8 as the supporting core were obtained first and two quantum dots with green and red emission provided the fluorescent signal.

Traditional linear polymer is commonly used for polymer flooding in tertiary oil recovery. However, it faces several problems, such as early injection allocation before use and viscosity reduction caused by high-speed shear. In this paper, a novel method of polymer flooding was proposed by using a super absorbent microsphere emulsion.

Orthopedic Laboratory of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, P. R. China.
The gut-bone axis is a promising target for osteoporosis treatment, yet existing delivery systems lack precise targeting. Herein, an oral hydrogel microsphere system (E7-Lipo@Alg/Cs) is developed using gas microfluidic and ionic crosslinking technologies to deliver drugs to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) via the gut-bone axis, regulating mitochondrial aging. A BMSC-affine peptide is conjugated onto liposomes encapsulating Fisetin, followed by incorporation into alginate-calcium hydrogel microspheres.

To expand the potential applications of raw lacquer, snowman-like polystyrene (PS)-urushiol lanthanum (ULa) Janus composite particles were synthesized by emulsion swelling-assisted protrusion from PS/ULa core-shell composite microspheres. The morphology and chemical composition of the PS/ULa composite microspheres and the PS-ULa Janus composite particles were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The PS-ULa Janus particles were compartmentalized into two parts, each with a different morphology and chemical composition.
