A unit for electrospinning of polymer melts was created. Nonwovens with an average fibre diameter of 0.5-20 μm were obtained from a melt of both pure polyamide 6 and its blends with stearic acid and oleic acid additives in the amount of 2-10 wt. % were obtained. Addition of 10% SF decreases the average diameter of the fibres obtained by 40 times due to a decrease in the viscosity of the melt by 60 times.
