1. A method of forming fibrous structures containing nanofibrils, comprising the steps of:

  • electrostatically charging fibers having a diameter ranging from about 4 Å

    to 1 nm, and a nano denier of about 10-9 ;

    drawing said charged fibers into an air vortex created helical current formed by air suction at one end of said current;

    contacting said fibers in said air vortex created helical current with one another to form a yarn;

    drawing said yarn from the other end of said air vortex helical current; and

    forming said yarn into a textile structure.
