Multifunctional magnetic microcapsules (MMCs) are prepared by a classical layer‐by‐layer technique of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs). As discussed by N. Khashab and co‐workers on page 985, these microcapsules successfully test for combined cancer cells hyperthermia and chemotherapy in addition to magnetic resonance imaging. The MMCs show efficient hyperthermia cell death, although their magnetic saturation value falls below the minimum value needed for biomedical applications.
