ABSTRACT
A brief view of mathematical models of electrospinning is given; the shortcomings of each model are illustrated. An accurate model describing the electrospinning procedure is suggested by taking into account the effect of non-Ohmic-like resistance of the fiber and polymer concentration.

Keywords:  Electrospinning; Nanofiber; Mathematical model
