description Electro-blown spinning (EBS) is an emergent hybridized nanofibers formation technology. Recently, there has been a great interest in introducing this novel method for producing sub-micron, and nanofibers into several applications. For the first time, this comprehensive paper provides a detailed review for the EBS process, including working principle, operation parameters, nanofibers materials, setup modifications, and various applications. EBS is a hybridized nanofibers manufacturing process which combines between the solution-blown spinning (SBS) and electrospinning driving forces. The EBS process can produce outstanding spinning efficiency and superior nanofibers characteristics compared to the conventional spinning methods. Moreover, researchers have proved the efficient spinning capability of EBS with highly viscous polymers and its feasibility for large-scale production. Herein, we will show the potential of EBS to produce high-quality nanofibers and bring new insight into the process challenges and outcomes.
