Abstract
Though electrospinning is the simplest method of producing polymeric nanofibers, industrial adoption of this technology is relatively low due to various difficulties being faced during the scaling-up process. The well-developed needle electrospinning process is limited by its very low productivity and blockage issues associated with the design. The needle-less electrospinning system has recently been explored for commercial adoption though it is limited due to the requirement for very high voltage and system configuration issues. Many novel designs like bubble electrospinning, centrifugal force electrospinning and melt electrospinning are appearing in support of the industrial adoption of this technology since there is a huge demand for electrospun nanofibers in face masks, indoor and outdoor filtration, molecular filtration, nanosensors, advanced textile materials, tissue engineering, drug delivery, catalysis, cosmetics, and so on. This chapter provides an insight into the strategies being followed to scale up the electrospinning system from lab to industry.
