DescriptionNanotechnology is an emerging field with the promise for new materials and applications in a variety of fields including medicine, drug delivery, catalysis and sustainable energy. At the forefront of these endevours are nanocarbon materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. Their inclusion into a host of composite materials have endowed materials with significant properties such as enhance mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity and improved functions such as drug delivery and catalysis. In many cases there is a further desire to make composites of these materials porous with a high internal surface area. Doing so will allow opportunities to optimize the pore size distribution tailored towards specific applications. It is aim of this work to demonstrate the versatility of these nanocarbon materials highlighting their usage in porous materials. The fabrication of these porous nano carbon materials is detailed through several techniques including wet spinning, sol-gel chemistry and forced impregnation. The characterization aspect is discussed at length focusing primarily on the porosimetetry results obtained from gas adsorption isotherms. Finally, the application of these composites are demonstrated in their use to enhance stem cell differentiation, as fiber composites for neural tissue engineering, catalysis and in the area of ultracapacitors.
