Abstract
A brief introduction to the development of electrospinning is given, and various apparatus to fabricate nanofibres or nanoporous materials are systematically reviewed with emphasis on the vibration electrospinning and melt electrospinning for enlarging electrospinability, siro-electrospinning for mimicking the spinning procedure of a spider, magneto-electrospinning for controlling the instability arising in the electrospinning process and bubble electrospinning for mass production of nanofibres. Electrospinning for producing nanoporous materials and the nano-effect for improving the properties of nanofibres are also introduced.
