Raising Nanofiber Output: The Progress, Mechanisms, Challenges, and Reasons for the Pursuit

The paper discusses the extent to the scale of the electrospun fiber membrane. Literatures show that two distinct methods of raising electrospun nanofiber production can be employed via spinning from a setup of multiple nozzles arranged side by side or from an expanse of polymer solution (needleless electrospinning). Both of these methods are thoroughly explored by considering the variations available within either of their respective productivities. Their mechanisms are duly dealt with by looking at principles and parameters behind the process performances and an analysis of the strategies devised to deal with the shortcomings and ensure process feasibility is given. It has to be noted that most of the available work on electrospinning and their applications is achieved via single needle electrospinning. In this review, a projection is taken to be accomplished whether the nanofiber production can be consistently raised to commercial levels at the exceptional application routes so far produced by the conventional electrospinning means.
