Abstract
Magnetite particles and monosized polystyrene beads were trapped in a silica-gel, which was then dried by using supercritical fluid extracti on. When the monolithic dried gel is sintered, the polystyrene beads a re pyrolyzed, leaving a porous magnetized piece of ceramic with contro lled pore sizes. These ''magnetic gel'' ceramics provide a novel class of materials for use in gel magnetophoresis and other biophysical app lications.
