NPs) and polyaniline (PANI) are incorporated into polymer solution to prepare one-dimensional nanocomposites, which can overcome the shortcomings of single functional material. The results display that the thickness and width of single Janus nanobelt are respectively 960 nm and
$6.932\pm 0.062\ \mu \mathrm{m}$
, and it has obvious asymmetric structure on both sides. The array has excellent conductive anisotropism and magnetism. Moreover, the conductive anisotropism and magnetism of the samples can be regulated by changing the PANI and Fe
