A method for fabricating carbon nanoparticle polymer matrix composites includes the steps of: providing a nanoparticle mixture that includes carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), mixing the nanoparticle mixture and a plastic substrate into a homogenous (CNP)/polymer mixture having an interconnected network of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs); and irradiating the (CNP)/polymer mixture with electromagnetic radiation controlled to form a polymer composite and uniformly consolidate and/or interfacially bond the carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) into the polymer matrix.

Method for fabricating carbon nanoparticle polymer matrix composites using electromagnetic irradiation

A nanostructured material includes carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), such as carbon nanotube particles (CNTs) or carbon nanofiber particles (CNFs), intercalated by intercalation nanoparticles (INPs), such as halloysite nanoparticles (HNPs), in a base material, such as a polymer. A method for making the nanostructured material includes the steps of: providing a mixture of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) having a selected composition; providing intercalation nanoparticles (INPs) configured to intercalate the carbon nanoparticles (CNPs); intercalating the carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by mixing the intercalation nanoparticles (INPs) in a selected CNP:HNP ratio to form an intercalated material; and combining the intercalated material in a base material in a selected concentration with the base material providing a matrix for the intercalated material.
