Nanoparticle Dispersion Problem in Nanomanufacturing of Super Metals
Metals are widely used in numerous industrial engineering applications. However, conventional processing methods have reached limits in further improving the properties of metals. With a recent breakthrough of nanomanufacturing technology on the principle of nanoparticle dispersion in metals at UCLA, Super Metals (Meta-Metals) containing populous ex-situ nanoparticles can deliver unprecedented properties, such as strength, stiffness, plasticity and high temperature stability. This approach of Super Metals paves a revolutionary way to enhance the performance of all metals to meet energy and sustainability challenges in today’s society.
