Abstract
A method of fabricating polyacrylonitrile (PACN) nanostructured carbon superstructure shapes is provided that includes forming a PACN polymer superstructure shape by using as a monomer, an initiator, and a solvent or incorporation of a different co-monomer for free radical polymerization, and converting the PACN polymer superstructure shape to a nanostructured carbon superstructure analogue using stabilization and carbonization of the PACN polymer superstructure shape, where the stabilization includes heating the PACN polymer superstructure shape to a temperature that is adequate to form a stabilization reaction, where the carbonization includes using a heat treatment.
