Tadpole-like artificial micromotor

Nanoscale. 2015 Feb 14;7(6):2276-80. doi: 10.1039/c4nr06621a.

Abstract

We describe a polymer-based artificial tadpole-like micromotor, which is fabricated through the electrospinning technique. By incorporating functional materials onto its surface or within its body, the resulting tadpole-like micromotor can not only move autonomously in an aqueous solution with a flexible tail, but also exhibit thermo- and magnetic responsive properties.
