Electrospun nanofibers have a high potential to be used in applications such as tissue engineering, biomaterials, textiles, electronics, and aerospace. However, nanofibers cannot be used in a single form due to the low strength and handling problems. Sara Asghari Mooneghi, Ali Akbar Gharehaghaji, Hossein Hosseini‐Toudeshky, and Giti Torkaman fabricated polyamide 66 nanofiber yards with three different twist levels via electrospinning. Fractography studies reveal that twisting causes construction of a layered structure in the yarns which is similar to the ideal yarn structure. The cover shows an SEM image of the final failure of polyamide 66 nanofiber yarns. (DOI: 10.1002/app.41925 )
