Abstract

A mathematical model is developed to predict the changing stiffness of magnetic fibers within a uniform external magnetic field. Magnetite nanoparticles 16nm in diameter were synthesized by an organic route. An ultrafine PMMA fiber containing 16nm magnetite nanoparticles was produced by electrospinning. The magnetic properties of the fibers were also characterized.
