Abstract
Electrospinning is an electrohydrodynamic process in which a liquid droplet is electrified to generate a charged jet that undergoes stretching and elongation to form fibers. This technique is widely recognized for fabricating nonwoven wearable textiles, with promising applications in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for healthcare and military systems. Effective EMI shields depend largely on electrical conductivity; however, electrospinning faces significant challenges when processing conductive materials due to excessive charge dissipation, jet instability, and unintended electrospraying instead of fiber formation. Here, we critically examine these challenges to elucidate the relationship between electrical conductivity and electrospinnability, identifying key bottlenecks in the field. Additionally, the recent progress in transitioning from reflection-based electrospun EMI shields to absorption-dominant ones is discussed in detail. Finally, we outline future directions that include strategies for absorption-dominant shielding, highlight the synergistic potential of electrospinning and electrospraying for scalable production, and advocate for the integration of machine learning tools to accelerate the design of next-generation EMI shielding materials. This review aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and real-world applications, addressing critical challenges and paving the way toward high-performance, wearable EMI shielding technologies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
