Title:
MICRO-TORQUE MATERIAL STRENGTHENING BY FIBER SPOT-PINNING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/117241
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for strengthening a material by stress induced micro-torques; a method for making a compound material which is strengthened by stress induced micro-torques acting at spot-pinned fibers, fibrils or nanotubes; and a compound material consisting of a metallic, ceramic, or polymeric matrix material which is mechanically strengthened by embedding tubular fibers, fibrils or nanotubes in the matrix material, characterized in that the bonding strength between the matrix material and the inner tube walls of the fibers, fibrils or nanotubes is stronger than the bonding strength between the matrix material and the outer hull of the tubular fibers, fibrils or nanotubes, which causes stress induced micro-torques acting at the embedded fibers, fibrils or nanotubes, when the compound material is exposed to external mechanical stress, which in turn causes an increased mechanical strength of the compound material in comparison to the pure matrix material.
