1. A method of forming a carbon nanostructure from a pre-formed polymer comprising the steps of:

  • mixing said pre-formed polymer with a liquid to form a polymer mixture;

    freezing said polymer mixture at an effective freezing rate greater than or equal to 103 Kelvin per second to form a polymer cast within said frozen liquid;

    separating said polymer cast from said frozen liquid by sublimating said frozen liquid; and

    carbonizing said polymer cast to form a carbon nanostructure.
