Abstract

Abstract A novel kind of rattle‐type hollow magnetic mesoporous sphere (HMMS) with Fe 3 O 4 particles encapsulated in the cores of mesoporous silica microspheres has been successfully fabricated by sol–gel reactions on hematite particles followed by cavity generation with hydrothermal treatment and H 2 reduction. Such a structure has the merits of both enhanced drug‐loading capacity and a significant magnetization strength. The prepared HMMSs realize a relatively high storage capacity up to 302 mg g −1 when ibuprofen is used as a model drug, and the IBU–HMMS system has a sustained‐release property, which follows a Fick's law.
