EDITOR'S COMMENTS

In this work, the authors focused on the mathematical modeling of the very important issue as it is
relations between nanofibers characteristics produced by using electrospun method and and the
process parameters. From a substantive point of view the subject of the work is modern and current.
It is very important to control the parameters of the electrospinning process, and the modeling of
this process can greatly facilitate the creation of materials with given properties.
The authors describe in detail the model of the polyetherimide solutions. However it would be
worthwhile to develop the introduction to prove how important electrospinning is for the development
of material engineering and nanotechnology referring to the latest scientific studies.
Experimental details are described correctly citing literature data. Authors precisely described
individual issues essential for the electrospinning process. The mathematical models of the
electrospinning was built correctly, and the statistical analysis does not raise any serious
reservations. The conclusions are correct. From the editorial point of view, the conclusion however,
should,be more distinct and marked in the text. In addition, the percentage share of plagiarism in
the text should be reduced from 30% to below 10%.
