A method for preparing polymer microspheres with high magnetic content is introduced.First of all,the ferrofluid prepared by co precipitation was treated with ethanol.Then,in the presence of the treated Fe 3O 4 particles,the dispersion polymerization of acrylamide was performed using poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) as dispersant,AIBN as initiator,and ethanol as dispersing medium.The effects of the dispersing medium,the agitation intensity,the amount and properties of magnetic particles on the polymerization and magnetic content in the polymer microspheres are discussed.Finally,polyacrylamide particles having as high as 32.2% (by weight) magnetic Fe 3O 4 particles were prepared.
