The present invention relates to a bioactive or real-time and pathogen killing material comprised of a carbon nanostructure (preferably a fullerene but including other functionalized carbon-based nanostructures) that possess potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The present invention relates to the utilization of functionalized carbon nanostructures as a bioactive antimicrobial substance that is incorporated into a material, including a textile, fabric, solution, salve, or cream. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is fullerene derivatives that are chemically functionalized on the cage with a halogen element. The present invention pertains to a material that is suitable for barrier garments, accessory garments (shoe covers, masks, facial visors, etc.), textiles (bed sheets, blankets, towels, personal clothing, gowns, surgical drapes, curtains, drapes, pads, etc.), filtration matrices (for use in hemodialysis, hemofiltration, etc.), or aerosolized solutions, sprays, liquids, salves, or creams. The present invention further relates to a production method thereof.

A method for producing SiC/SiC composite material according to the present invention includes impregnating a substrate with a slurry containing particles of a flaky lubricant to obtain an impregnated body, drying out a solvent of the slurry from the impregnated body, forming an interface layer on surfaces of the SiC fibers by bending the impregnated body, and transferring the particles of the flaky lubricant to the surfaces of the SiC fibers while stretching the particles, and forming a SiC matrix inside the substrate on which the interface layer is formed. Since a thin interface layer of the flaky lubricant can be formed on the surfaces of the SiC fibers by transferring the flaky lubricant to the surfaces of the SiC fibers, the interface layer reaching inside of the substrate can be easily formed.

Graphene has been used in nanocomposites as constituents/doping in plastics or epoxy providing dramatic enhancement of the mechanical properties but have not progressed past the laboratory level novelty. This invention can provide a graphene based composite structure with a density less that 1.9 g/cm.sup.3 for a fiber, yarn, rope or cable and a density less that 1.5 g/cm.sup.3 for a sheet both structure have tensile and shear strength greater than either Aluminum or Steel; thus providing a graphene material that is both much lighter and stronger.
