Electrospinning is the most widely used technique for creating nanofibers. However, the low production rate and the usage of a high-voltage setup have become obstacles to its widespread application. One effective method for creating nanofibers from a variety of materials is centrifugal spinning. This review discusses centrifugal spinning (CS) as an effective and scalable nanofiber manufacturing technology, particularly in filtration systems, and presents it as a promising alternative to existing methods, such as electrospinning. The review highlights the advantages of CS, including its high production rate, cost efficiency, and the ability to process various materials to produce nano- and microfibers. Despite its high potential, the issues associated with CS technology include the unpredictability of fiber quality, the inability to control diameters, and the need for more robust mathematical models to predict fiber characteristics. To eliminate these shortcomings and further enhance the industrial utility of centrifugally spun nanofibers in filtration, future studies should focus on improving process control, exploring a broader range of polymers, optimizing melt electrospinning, and designing more advanced nozzle profiles.
