AB - Electrospinning is believed to be the most effective technique to produce  microfibers or nanofibers at large scale, which can be applied in various  hightech areas, including energy harvester, tissue engineering, and  wearable sensors. To enhance nanofiber throughput during a multi-needle  electrospinning process, it is an effective way to keep the electric field  uniform by optimizing electrospinning spinnerets. For this purpose, a novel  circular spinneret system is designed and optimized numerically by a 3-D  finite element model, the optimal collector shape is also obtained.
