<p align="justify">Recent advances in nanomaterial have lead to its application in various fields, such as electronic equipments, industrial uses, research purposes, and medical sciences. A large number of products in nanometer scale have contributed a lot in everyday life due to the developments in this research. Among the materials studied, the most widely used category of nanomaterials are nanofibers, which are fibers with diameters up to hundreds to tens of nanometers. This has led to new inventions in nanofiber synthesis methods. However, some of the methods possess several drawbacks such as low safety due to the use of high voltage, limitations in production rate, and inability to synthesize smaller-size nanofibers. Therefore, a new method utilizing centrifugal force was developed in this research, which is called mini-Rotary Forcespinning. This method is the a variant of the previous research which employed a machine with larger scale. With this method, a large variety of material can be synthesized, and as a initial test, High-Impact Polystyrene fibers are produced. In this research, fibers were synthesized under varied operational speed and concentration. This writing encompasses the results of fibers obtained under varied conditions and their respective characteristics.<p align="justify">
