Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to magnetic liquid particles, and methods for using the magnetic liquid particles. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to magnetic liquid particles having antimicrobial properties. The particles can comprise a liquid metal core comprising a liquid gallium or alloy thereof, and a plurality of magnetic iron particles; and an inorganic passivation layer encapsulating the liquid metal core. The particles can be used for disrupting a biofilm. The particles can also be used for the treatment of biofilm related diseases.
