Abstract
An article and method of manufacture of a composite material. The method includes providing a starting scaffold with interfacial porosity, performing an infiltration step to fill the porosity and form a bond to the scaffold with an interface layer and forming an overlayer integrally coupled to the interface layer.
Claims20
A method of preparing a composite material, comprising the steps of,
- providing a starting scaffold having interfacial porosity;
- performing an infiltration step to fill the interfacial porosity of the scaffold with an interfacial layer;
