Three-dimensional magnetite replicas of pollen particles with tailorable and predictable multimodal adhesion

Abstract

Layer-by-layer surface sol-gel chemistry and controlled thermal treatment allow for careful adjustment of the amount, type, and crystal size of iron oxide in pollen replicas, giving the biogenic magnetic particles tunable adhesion characteristics.
