Modeling and experiments of three electrospinning systems have been presented and they are i) axisymmetric instabilities in electrospinning of various polymeric solutions, ii) non-isothermal modeling of polymer melt electrospinning, and iii) control of nanoparticle distribution and location via confined selfassembly of block copolymers during electrospinning. It has been demonstrated that predicted simulations are in good agreement with corresponding electrospinning experiments, and theoretical analysis provides fundamental understanding of phenomena that take place during electrospinning of various polymeric liquids.

Keywords:electrospinning;axisymmetric instability;nonisothermal modeling;block copolymer nanocomposites
