One key limitation to implementing electrospinning on a commercial production scale is the low production rate. Conventionally, production rates used with electrospinning are less than 0.3 g/h. To increase productivity, it is possible to increase the number of needles. However, the effect of additional needles/liquid jets on the electric field profile presents a significant challenge. Electrostatic repulsion limits the areal density of jets that can be achieved. There is strong repulsion among the jets which lead to poor fiber quality and reduced fiber production (Persano et al. 2013).
