  Planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) offer a unique
opportunity to study both the population and evolution of low- and
intermediate-mass stars in an environment which is free of the distance scale
bias that hinder Galactic PN studies. The emission shown by PNe in the 5-40
$\mu$m range is characterized by the presence of a combination of solid state
features (from the dust grains) and nebular emission lines over-imposed on a
strong dust continuum. We acquired low resolution IRS spectroscopy of a
selected sample of LMC and SMC PNe whose morphology, size, central star
brightness, and chemical composition are known. The data have been acquired and
reduced, and the IRS spectra show outstanding quality as well as very
interesting features. The preliminary analysis presented here allows to
determine strong correlations between gas and dust composition, and nebular
morphology. More detailed analysis in the future will deepen our knowledge of
mass-loss mechanism, its efficiency, and its relation to PN morphology.
