  • Evaluation of temperature-dependent agglomeration influenced by pH, temperature, salt type, and particle concentration.

Main Results:

  • Optimized conditions (low pH, kosmotropic salt, high particle concentration) enhanced agglomeration at 40 °C.
  • Particles demonstrated successful recycling and reversible agglomeration over ten heating-cooling cycles.
  • Modified particles exhibited enhanced magnetic separation and efficient protein adsorption (up to 135 mg/g) for lactoferrin, BSA, and lysozyme.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-responsive particles combining magnetic and thermoresponsive properties were successfully created.
  • These particles facilitate switchable agglomeration, easy separation, and efficient protein adsorption.
  • The developed particles show significant potential for advanced biotechnological applications.
