Abstract

A method of manufacturing a metal matrix composite material containing high thermal stability polymer fibers, comprising the steps of: (1) providing high thermal stability polymer fibers; (2) providing a liquid-phase metal; (3) mixing the liquid-phase metal and the high thermal stability fibers; and (4) allowing the liquid-phase metal to solidify and form a metal matrix composite.
