show that the PNIPAm-Fe3O4 hybrid microgels were spherical in shape with a large size distribution and
the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were randomly distributed inside the microgels. The PNIPAm-Fe3O4 hybrid
microgels were thermosensitive, exhibiting a reversible swelling and deswelling behavior as a function of
temperature. The PNIPAm-Fe3O4 hybrid microgels also show superparamagnetic behavior at room
temperature (300 K).
