ABSTRACT
Identifying and ensuring the integrity of products plays an important role in today's globalized world. Miniaturized information taggants in the packaging surface are therefore required to monitor the product itself instead of applying external labels. Ideally, multiple types of information are stored in such additives. In this work, micrometer-sized core-shell particles (supraparticles) were developed to provide material surfaces with both an identifier and a surface abrasion indication functionality. The core of the supraparticles contains iron oxide nanoparticles that allow identification of the surface with a spectral magnetic code resolved by magnetic particle spectroscopy. The fluorescent silica nanoparticles in the supraparticle shell can be abraded by mechanical stress and resolved by fluorescence spectroscopy. This provides information about the mechanical integrity of the system. The application as surfaces, that contain several types of information in one supraparticle, was demonstrated here by incorporating such bifunctional supraparticles as additives in a surface coating.
