Electrospinning is a unique method for producing micro and nano sized polymeric nanofibers consisting of high surface area, porosity and flexibility. It can further be utilized for producing nano-patterns in applications such as biosensors, magnetic recording and bioelectronics. Magnetite (Fe3O4) from the spinel group is the most magnetically natural mineral found on earth and it has been successfully used as a catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This work focuses on a consistent synthesis of magnetite nanopatterns for selective growth of CNTs for potential applications in bioelectronics
