Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive bandage with a magnetically-released triggering mechanism is provided. The pressure-sensitive bandage may include a backing for providing support for the pressure-sensitive adhesive bandage. Additionally, the pressure-sensitive bandage may include a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the backing, which may include microcapsules. The microcapsules may include a silica-based shell, a core confined within the silica-based shell that includes oil, and a plurality of magnetic particles that may be positioned in at least one of the silica-based shell and the core. The plurality of magnetic particles may be configured to cause the silica-based shell to release the oil from the core when a magnetic force is exerted on the plurality of magnetic particles.
