“…To date, PMMs have found wide applications in biotechnological and medical fields such as cell separation [2], enzyme immobilization [3] and protein purification [4][5][6][7][8] for their advantages in the ease of recovery, stable and robust physical and chemical properties, low cost, superior biological compatibility and variety of active functional groups [9][10][11]. Hence, fabrication of polymeric microspheres with high magnetic responsiveness, superparamagnetism and monodisperse or narrow size distribution has attracted much attention of researchers in recent years.…”
