Carbon nanofiber (CNF) is an important nano form of graphitic carbon. It is competing with Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) in many aspects, in both fundamental scientific research and practical applications. It is a promising material as an additive in polymers for its applications in many fields. The electrical property of CNF composites largely counts on the dispersion and percolation status of CNFs in matrix materials. In this review properties and applications of CNF nanocomposites are dealt with. Fabrication methods of CNF composites have also been discussed in brief. The suitable polymers that have been used for conjugating with CNF vary from natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides, fibrin, and proteins to various synthetic polymers. The review also encompasses various approaches involved in synthesizing polymer and CNF nanoconjugates as well as their application ranging from cosmetics to batteries and solar cells.
