Three‐pole electrospinning devices integrated with a blade‐cage collector were developed to fabricate well‐aligned nano‐fiberous membranes. The proposed three‐pole configuration with a channel electrode can be a powerful tool in aligning nano‐fibers with regular diameter because the generated electric field can be accurately controlled without severe fluctuation in comparison with other methods. The three‐pole electrospinning method is also valid for industrial mass production and accurate diameter control of the aligned nano‐fibers.
