METHOD TO GENERATE AND DISPERSE NANOSTRUCTURES IN A COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

A method of making a nanostructure-reinforced composite comprises providing matrix particles in a reactor; fluidizing the matrix particles; introducing a nanostructure material into the reactor; homogeneously dispersing the nanostructure material; uniformly depositing the nanostructure material on the matrix particles to form a composite powder; generating a nanostructure on the matrix particles from the nanostructure material; and processing the composite powder to form the nanostructure-reinforced composite having a matrix formed from the matrix particles. The nanostructures are evenly distributed in the matrix of the nanostructure-reinforced composite.
