Glasses and ceramics with self-dispersed core-shell nanostructures via casting

Abstract

Nanocomposite ceramic or glass materials are disclosed herein, which include a matrix material and one or more nanostructures dispersed within the matrix material. The nanostructures may comprise one or more core-shell nanostructures including a core nanostructure and a shell material. The shell material may be different from the material making up the core nanostructure and may improve the wettability of the core-shell nanostructure, the dispersion of the core-shell nanostructure within the matrix material, or make the core-shell nanostructure more resistant to oxidation, when compared to the core nanostructure alone. Methods of making nanocomposite ceramic or glass materials are also disclosed herein.
