ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing a composite having nanofibers uniformly dispersed in a metal, polymer or ceramic matrix. The method comprises mixing the nanofibers with a metallic, polymeric or ceramic material, followed by uniformly dispersing the nanofibers in the material via deformation of the metal, polymer or ceramic matrix by application of mechanical energy to the material; and imparting a directionality to the nanofibers via application of a mechanical mass flowing process to a composite material with the nanofibers uniformly dispersed in the metal, polymer or ceramic matrix. With the method, since the nanofibers can be uniformly dispersed in the metal, polymer or ceramic matrix via a simple mechanical process, the composite can be manufactured through a simple process, thereby enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
