Abstract:
1. A method of making a composite material, the method comprising: providing a plurality of nano-particles, wherein the plurality of nano-particles comprises a plurality of ceramic nano-particles; and performing a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process on the plurality of nanoparticles, thereby forming a tile comprising the plurality of nano-particles, wherein the nano-structure of the nano-particles is present in the formed tile; and bonding the tile to a ductile backing material, wherein the tile is bonded to the ductile backing material using heat-curable adhering material and catalyzed foamable exothermic material between the tile and the ductile backing material, wherein heat generated from the use of the catalyzed foamable exothermic material cures the heat-curable adhering material.
