Disclosed are a carbon nanomaterial pellet and a method for preparing same. More particularly, it relates to a carbon nanomaterial pellet having a specific size and a high apparent density prepared by a simple process using only a rotary tablet press without mixing a carbon nanomaterial powder with a solvent or an additive, which is capable of solving the powder dust problem occurring when preparing a polymer composite from a carbon nanomaterial in the form of powder, thus improving physical properties and remarkably reducing cost of packaging and transportation, and a method for preparing the carbon nanomaterial pellet from a carbon nanomaterial powder.

The present disclosure is directed to processes comprising irradiating an aggregate of chemically bonded or otherwise associated nanoparticles with a light source capable of providing multiphoton excitation, the light source directed at a focal point volume including the aggregate and having sufficient energy to disrupt or fuse the aggregate within the focal point volume to form nanoscale deposits of the nanoparticles.
