In this work, we evaluate the physical properties of nylon 6 nonwoven mats produced from solutions with formic acid. Nonwoven electrospun mats from various solutions with different concentration are examined regarding their morphology, pore size, surface area, and gas transport properties. Each nonwoven mat with average fiber diameters from 90 to 500 nm was prepared under controlled electrospinning process parameters. From the results, it was observed that the fiber diameter was strongly affected by the polymer concentration (polymer viscosity). In additional the results showed that the pore size, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and gas transport property of electrospun nylon 6 nonwoven mats were affected by the fiber diameter.
