A three steps synthesis route is proposed to generate thermosensitive and magnetically responsive γ-Fe2O3@Wax@SiO2 sub-micrometer capsules with a paraffinic core and a solid and brittle shell. The process integrates Pickering-based emulsions, inorganic and sol–gel chemistries to promote monodisperse in size wax droplets, γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and mineralization of the wax/water interfaces.
