Polyelectrolyte hybrid hollow microspheres with sandwich structure of about 450nm have been accomplished by layer-by-layer self-assembling of two modified ferroferric oxide nanoparticles, lysine modified ferroferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-LYs) and citrate modified ferroferric oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-CA), as the main assembling materials via electrostatic interaction for the first time. They are superparamagnetic with saturation magnetization of 45.69 emu/g, revealing their high magnetic content of 70%. As drug delivery system, they also exhibited pH-stimuli responsive controlled release of an anticancer drug doxorubicin, following the Fickian diffusion model. Their unique structure and high magnetic content make them good candidate for targeted delivery.
