Abstract
Abstract This review is devoted to discuss the unique characteristics of multi-jet electrospinning technique, compared to other spinning techniques, and its utilization in spinning of natural as well as synthetic polymers. The advantages and inadequacies of the current commercial chemical spinning methods; namely wet spinning, melt spinning, dry spinning, and electrospinning are discussed. The unconventional applications of electrospinning in textile and non-textile sectors are reported. Special emphasis is devoted to the theory and technology of the multijet electrospinning as well as its applications. The current status of multi-jet electrospining and future prospects are outlined. Using multi-jet electrospinning technique, various polymers have been electrospun into uniform blend nanofibrous mats with good dispersibility. In addition to the principle of multi-jet electro electrospinning, the different devices used for this technique are also highlighted.

Summary
Spinning is an art that has been utilized in formation of yarn by drawing out and twisting natural or synthetic fibers. Fibers were spun manually with simple tools as distaff and spindle. The spindle was the first tool used for spinning all the threads used for. Mechanical spinning is a multistep process in which fibers are spun into yarns physically. Making filament yarns from man-made fibers is feasible using chemical spinning operations. This is achieved by extruding the viscous polymer solution through a nozzle (spinneret). The wet-spinning process: in which solidification of the soluble polymer occurs after a counter current diffusion between the spinning dope and the coagulation bath. The melt-spinning process: where phase transformation is due to the solidification from a molten mass
