Highly compressible magnetic liquid marbles assembled from hydrophobic magnetic chain-like nanoparticles

We demonstrated a large-scale, low-cost and rapid flame synthesis of hydrophobic magnetic chain-like nanoparticles (HMCNPs) composed of core-shell Fe2O3@SiO2 nanoparticles. The liquid marble made up of HMCNPs is highly compressible with rapid self-recovering ability mainly due to the intriguing elastic behavior and magnetic performance.
