A sticky combination : Mesoporous carbon–polymer spheres with adjustable magnetic functionality and chemical specificity are derived from nontoxic materials (see FESEM image). An additional advantage of this method is that the pore‐size distribution of the materials can be modulated from monomodal to bimodal, which makes these materials very attractive for simultaneously immobilizing/transporting small and bulky molecules with equal or opposite charge.
