Polymer porous membranes are crucial in various applications, including water filtration, tissue engineering, and drug administration. Conventional far‐field electrospinning (FFES) is widely used for producing polymeric membranes due to its cost‐effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility in using many polymers. However, FFES has limitations in controlling pore form and size, as it produces randomly oriented fibers that lead to inconsistent and noncustomizable pore sizes. To address these limitations, this work combines near‐field electrospinning (NFES) with thermal treatment of polymer fibers and membranes. NFES offers more precise control over fiber placement and alignment, producing well‐defined fiber patterns with consistent and customizable pore sizes without compromising the thickness of membranes. By exploring the interplay between polymer behavior, thermal effects, and capillary action, the differences in pore area under various temperatures and fiber spacings are characterized. Additionally, this study investigates the influence of multilayer infusion on pore size and geometric arrangement by examining multilayer configurations stacked at various angles. The results indicate that increasing the number of layers leads to decreased pore size, while the alignment of infused fibers affects pore shape. This integrated approach enhances control over membrane characteristics, improving the performance and consistency of polymer porous membrane fabrication across various applications.
