[0029] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0030] Example 1;

[0033] S3. Add graphene oxide solution (20 mL) to the mixed solution and continue stirring for 10 minutes.
[0034] S4. Subsequently, 15 mL of ammonium hydroxide was added dropwise to the reaction system, and the reaction was continued at 50° C. for 1.5 h.
[0035] S5. Then, the reaction system was heated to 70°C and heated to mature for 1 hour.
[0036] S6. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is filtered and washed with ultrapure water until it is neutral.
[0037] S7. Dry the washed ferroferric oxide magnetic particle mixture and dissolve it in ultrapure water at a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0038] Image characterization of formed magnetic particles, such as Figure 1 shown.
[0039] The results showed that under the action of magnet, the magnetic particles aggregated rapidly, indicating that the magnetic particles were successfully synthesized.
[0040] Example 2;
[0041] The formation of Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel particles comprises the following steps:
[0042] S7, drying the washed ferroferric oxide magnetic particle mixture, and dissolving it in ultrapure water at a concentration of 1 mg / mL;
[0043] S8, crushing the dried Ulva green algae into powder, defatting and drying the powder, extracting crude Ulva polysaccharides using hot water extraction, and freeze-drying the powder;
[0044] S9. Dissolve the lyophilized sample in water at 45-50 mg / mL, add 1 / 4 volume of Sevag reagent (n-butanol:chloroform = 1:4), and repeat 9-12 times to obtain a purified polysaccharide solution;
[0045] S10, dialyzing the polysaccharide solution for 24 to 36 hours using a dialysis bag with a cutoff of 3500 Daltons, and then collecting the sample for freeze-drying;
[0046] S11. Take Ulva polysaccharide (purity greater than 90%), dissolve it in the magnetic particle solution (20-30 mg / mL) prepared in S7, heat it in a water bath at 60 degrees Celsius, and mix it every half hour.
[0047] S12. Prepare 0.1 M ferric chloride solution in a beaker;
[0048] S13, then, injecting the Ulva polysaccharide / magnetic particle mixed solution into the 0.1 M ferric chloride solution using a constant speed propeller;
[0049] S14, soaking and aging for 1 hour, freezing and drying to obtain Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres;
[0050] The image characterization of the formed Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres was performed, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0051] The results show that the gel microspheres prepared by combining magnetic particles (Fe3O4) with Ulva polysaccharide successfully achieved magnetic response performance. This property gives the material important functional advantages. The microspheres can complete directional movement within 1 minute under the action of an external magnetic field.
[0052] Example 3;
[0053] This example is used to determine the size of the Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres prepared in Example 3;
[0054] The specific method is as follows: Place the Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres under a microscope for observation and magnification, and then use a marking tool to mark the size, such as Figure 3 As shown;
[0055] The results showed that the prepared Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres had a relatively uniform size distribution, with an average diameter of about 2.0±0.02mm (n≥6);
[0056] Example 4;
[0057] This example is used to determine the internal structure of the Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres prepared in Example 2;
[0058] The specific method is as follows:
[0059] cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) and pore size analysis;
[0060] Cryo-EM sample preparation followed the protocols in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. The steps were summarized as follows: plunge freezing was performed in liquid ethane using a Vitrobot Mark IV (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and cryo-EM data were acquired on a 30 kV Itan Krios microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with a Gatan K3 direct electron detector.
[0061] result Figure 4 The results showed that at 5000x magnification, the Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres exhibited a typical interconnected porous network structure. This three-dimensional, interconnected pore structure not only gives the material a high specific surface area and porosity, but also may facilitate the loading and sustained release of nutrients or drugs. Further high-magnification observation revealed that the internal structure of the microspheres was uniformly distributed, and the Fe3O4 magnetic particles were evenly dispersed within the Ulva polysaccharide matrix network, with no obvious agglomeration.
[0062] Example 5;
[0063] This example is used to evaluate the infrared analysis results and formation mechanism of the Ulva polysaccharide magnetic gel microspheres prepared in Example 1;
[0064] The specific method is as follows:
[0065] The crystal structure of the sample was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer. The test conditions are as follows: Radiation source: CuKα ray The operating voltage was 40 kV and the current was 40 mA. The scanning range was 5°-80° (2θ), the scanning rate was 4° / min, and the step size was 0.02°. The dried sample was ground into a uniform powder and placed in a glass sample tank and pressed flat. The room temperature (25 ± 1°C) was maintained during the test, and each sample was measured three times to ensure data reliability.
[0066] According to the above results, after Ulva polysaccharide reacts with trivalent iron to form magnetic gel microspheres, the peak width of the C peak (2θ≈20℃) in its XRD spectrum increases significantly. This indicates that there is a coordination cross-linking effect in the formation of the gel microspheres: Fe 3+ As a cross-linking center, it binds to multiple ULP chains, causing the conformation of the polysaccharide chain to change from a loose coil to a compact aggregate state. This indicates that aggregates different from the original polysaccharide chains are formed during the formation of gel microspheres, further indicating the polymerization of magnetic particles and the wrapping effect of sugar chains during the formation of gel microspheres.
[0067] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and concepts of the present invention within the scope disclosed by the present invention, which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
