The proton dynamics of hydrogen bonds (HBs) in the α and γ forms of Nylon 6 are investigated by Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD). The results reported in article e25595 by Mateusz Z . Brela and colleagues show differences in the dynamic effects of inter‐chain HB interactions between the α form and the γ form of Nylon 6. Analysis of the time course of the geometrical parameters of HBs along the BOMD simulations shows that HBs are dynamically favored in the γ form of Nylon. The neighboring molecular chains are connected by N—H… O=C intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and the hydrogen bonded sheets are stacked by van der Waals interactions. (DOI: 10.1002/qua.25595 )
