The conditions for producing composite nanofibers of chitosan and polyamide PA 6/66-3 using needleless electrospinning from polymer solutions in HOAc (75%) were studied. The mixed solutions became more viscous and the average diameter of spun fibers increased from 200 to 300 nm as the polyamide content increased. Defect-free fibers containing 40% polyamide with an average diameter of 200 nm were obtained.
