A flexible sheet comprising a composite sheet, the composite sheet comprising a binder and an aggregate containing a plurality of carbon nanotubes that is disposed in the binder, wherein the aggregate is formed as a waveform structure travelling along a single direction in a plane of the composite sheet, is provided. The disclosed flexible sheets may be used as thermally conductive components, electrically conductive components, antistatic components, electromagnetic wave shields, and/or heating elements, in addition to other possible uses.

Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments provide for the creation of holey graphene meshes (HGMs) and composite articles including HGMs. Various embodiments provide solvent-free methods for creating arrays of holes on holey graphene-based articles formed from dry compression (such as films, discs, pellets), thereby resulting in a HGM. In further embodiments, a HGM can used as part of a composite, such as by: 1) embedding a HGM into another matrix material such as carbon, polymer, metals, metal oxides, etc; and/or (2) the HGM serving as a matrix by filling the holes of the HGM or functionalizing the HGM body with another one or more materials. In various embodiments, HGM can also be made as a composite itself by creating holes on dry-compressed articles pre-embedded with one or more other materials.

A method of manufacturing a heat dissipation device is disclosed. The heat dissipation device manufactured with the method includes two titanium metal sheets, which are subjected to a heat treatment before undergoing mechanical processing, plastic working and surface modification. With these arrangements, the titanium metal sheets can be freely plastically deformed and possess a capillary force, and can therefore be used in place of the conventional copper material to serve as a material for making heat dissipation devices, and the heat dissipation devices so produced can have largely reduced weight and largely improved heat dissipation performance.

Bulk materials having a kinetically limited nano-scale diffusion bond is provided. The bulk materials having a kinetically limited nano-scale diffusion bond includes transparent material, absorbent opaque material and a diffusion bond. The transparent material has properties that allow an electromagnetic beam of a select wavelength to pass there through without more than minimal energy absorption. The absorbent opaque material has properties that significantly absorb energy from the electromagnetic beam. The diffusion bond is formed by the electromagnetic beam bonding the transparent material to the absorbent opaque material. Moreover, the diffusion bond has a thickness that is less than 1000 nm.

The present invention relates to the technical field of material processing and provides a method for making a metal material composite, including: contacting a first surface of a first plate with a second surface of a second plate; placing the first plate and the second plate in a recess in a circumferential direction of a first roller such that a third surface of the second plate contacts a bottom wall of the recess in a circumferential, the third surface being opposite the second surface, the first plate having a greater hardness than the second plate; and controlling a first roller and a second roller to rotate, thereby rolling to combine the first plate and the second plate into a composite plate, where a fourth surface of the first plate contacts a surface of the second roller and the fourth surface is opposite the first surface during the rolling. According to the method for making a metal material composite in the present invention, flashings and burr on the side edges of a composite plate are avoided by placing the first plate and the second plate in a recess for machining.
