Abstract:
1. A method of making ceramics comprising: providing a nano-material with an average diameter of 1-15 nanometers, wherein the nano-material is created using a plasma process; preparing a dispersion of the nano-material, wherein the nano-material comprises 0.5-20 wt % of the dispersion; preparing a slurry of a ceramic matrix material; mixing the nano-dispersion with the matrix slurry to form a nano-dispersion/slurry mixture, wherein 0.5-20 percent of the nano-dispersion/slurry mixture comprises the nano-material dispersion; drying the nano-dispersion/slurry mixture; and pressing the nano-dispersion/slurry mixture into a final manufacture comprising a granular structure including the nano-material bonded within and uniformly distributed throughout the granular structure.
