What is it about?
PA thin films being composed of aligned fibrils about 100nm in width were synthesized in a macroscopically oriented nematic-liquid crystal fields. Entanglement-free nanofibers were obtained by application of the ultrasonication to an ethanol solution containing the aligned PA thin films for several hours at room temperature.

Why is it important?
A method preparing single nanofibers from a conducting polymer was found.
Perspectives
Nanofibers based on aligned PA fibrils should be useful for conducting nanowires in plastic electronics.
