摘　　要：Electrohydrodynamic(EHD)jet printing represents a novel micro/nano-scale additive manufacturing process that utilises a high-voltage induced electric field between the nozzle and the substrate to print micro/nanoscale structures.EHD printing is particularly advantageous for the fabrication on flexible or non-flat substrates and of large aspect ratio micro/nanostructures and composite multi-material structures.Despite this,EHD printing has yet to be fully industrialised due to its low throughput,which is primarily caused by the limitations of serial additive printing technology.The parallel multi-nozzle array-based process has become the most promising option for EHD printing to achieve large-scale printing by increasing the number of nozzles to realise multichannel parallel printing.This paper reviews the recent development of multi-nozzle EHD printing technology,analyses jet motion with multi-nozzle,explains the origins of the electric field crosstalk effect under multi-nozzle and discusses several widely used methods for overcoming it.This work also summarises the impact of different process parameters on multi-nozzle EHD printing and describes the current manufacturing process using multi-nozzle as well as the method by which they can be realised independently.In addition,it presents an additional significant utilisation of multi-nozzle printing aside from enhancing single-nozzle production efficiency,which is the production of composite phase change materials through multi-nozzle.Finally,the future direction of multi-nozzle EHD printing development is discussed and envisioned.
