“…Moreover, thin fibers (true nanofibers) having a diameter less than 50 nm were also observed in all the mats. The formation of these thin fibers in the form of spider‐wave‐like nano‐nets is explained in previous reports . FE‐SEM images (Fig.…”

“…On the basis of the available literature, there have been several factors contributing to the formation of subnanofibers. In the brief reduction of the polymer solution viscosity, ionization and phase separation could be regarded as the most probable mechanisms contributing to the formation of such a structure . Hence, the increase in the conductivity of the polymer solution due to the presence of ions (‐CONH2+‐) could have been responsible for the formation of this spider‐net structure upon the main nanofibers.…”

“…Hence, the chain twisted approximately 60 ° out of the plane; this led to the formation of hydrogen‐bonding sites. This resulted in a twisted conformation, which had less efficient hydrogen bonding and a metastable crystalline form . In general, the FTIR and Raman spectra showed that MIPs had been formed; this established interactions with the nanofibers.…”

“…Fabrication of polymeric fibers up to true nano-size (<50 nm in diameter) [7] with high aspect ratio has offered wide opportunities to construct more efficient interfaces for large-area electronics if they have electrical conductivity. Authors' previous reports show that nylon-6 is a potential candidate for the fabrication of true nanofibers (having high aspect ratio) in the form of spider-wave-like mat by varying process/material parameters during electrospinning [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
