Abstract

Controlled movement of short electrospun fluorescent fibers has been accomplished by electrospinning of anthracene-modified PMMA loaded with superparamagnetic cobalt nanoparticles. Subsequently, composite fibers were mechanically cut, dispersed in water and moved under the influence of an external ferromagnet.
