Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to analyse theoretically the possibilities of the development of a new generation of the high-innovative advanced porous and composite nanostructural functional materials with nanofibers and to study into the material science grounds of synthesis and/or production and formulation of such materials’ structure and properties and to characterise and model their structure and properties depending on the compositional, phase and chemical composition and the applied synthesis and/or production and/or processing processes, without the attitude towards any direct practical application or use, but with confirming the highly probable future application areas, using the unexpected effects of formulating such materials’ functional properties. Design/methodology/approach: In general, the study is of priority cognitive importance as theoretical considerations and the author’s initial analyses related to technology foresight concerning this group of issues as well as sporadical results of research provided in the literature, usually in its incipient phase, indicating a great need to intensify scientific research, to develop the new groups of materials with quite unexpected predictable effects, resulting from the use of nanofibers for fabricating super advanced composite and porous materials. Findings: The description of the state of the art for the subject of the study has been limited to the issues initially selected with an analysis with the method of weighted scores. Practical implications: The outcoming materials may have direct influence on the development of electronics and photonics, medicine and pharmacy, environmental protection, automotive industry, space industry, machine industry, textile and clothing industry, cosmetic industry, agriculture and food sector. Originality/value: The value of this paper lies in the fact that it proposes a new generation of the high-innovative advanced porous and composite nanostructural functional materials with nanofibers.
