Polymeric nanofibers have been the focus of much research due to their continually evolving applications in fields such as biomedicine, tissue engineering, composites, filtration, battery separators, and energy storage. Although several methods of producing nanofibers have shown promise for large scale production, none have yet produced large enough volumes at a low cost to be the front runner in the field, and therefore the preferred choice for industrialization. Rotary jet spinning (RJS) could be the answer to high throughput, low cost, and environmentally friendly nanofiber production. Being exploited in only the last decade, it is a technology that has seen relatively little research, but one which could potentially be the answer to large scale manufacturing of polymer nanofibers. In this review, we focus on fundamental processing characteristics and initial application driven research. A comparison between existing nanofiber production methods is drawn with the key differences noted. Two methods of utilizing RJS in nanofiber production are discussed, namely spinning from a polymer melt, and solution-based spinning as is typically used in more traditional methods such as electrospinning. Modeling of the process is introduced, in which material selection and processing parameters play an important role.

由于聚合物纳米纤维在生物医学，组织工程，复合材料，过滤，电池隔膜和能量存储等领域的不断发展应用，它们一直是许多研究的重点。尽管几种生产纳米纤维的方法已显示出可大规模生产的希望，但还没有一种方法能以低成本生产足够大的体积，成为该领域的领跑者，因此是工业化的首选。旋转喷射纺丝（RJS）可能是高产量，低成本和环保纳米纤维生产的答案。这项技术仅在最近十年才被开发，但相关的研究很少，但可能会成为大规模制造聚合物纳米纤维的答案。在这篇评论中 我们专注于基本处理特征和初始应用驱动的研究。比较了现有纳米纤维生产方法之间的主要差异。讨论了在纳米纤维生产中利用RJS的两种方法，即从聚合物熔体中纺丝，以及在更传统的方法（如静电纺丝）中通常使用的基于溶液的纺丝。介绍了过程建模，其中材料选择和加工参数起着重要作用。通常在更传统的方法（如电纺）中使用的基于溶液的纺丝。介绍了过程建模，其中材料选择和加工参数起着重要作用。通常在更传统的方法（例如电纺）中使用的基于溶液的纺丝。介绍了过程建模，其中材料选择和加工参数起着重要作用。
