The difficulty in mixing is that the fibers are entangled with each other

1. Preparation of thin short-CF suspension in organic liquid by sonification.
2. Adding small amounts of powder to the suspension while treating in a high-speed propeller mixer gradually.
3. Intensive vacuum drying.
The method of Mr Shabalin is really helpful.
Ultrasonic concussion in organic liquid is helpful to deal with entangling.
Ball milling sometimes is useful method for dealing with powder
Consider to add isopropyl alcohol as binder-assisting agent, in order to improve the homogeneity the intended mixture. You can evaporate the alcohol with moderate heat and/or vacuum assistance after the mixture has been sufficiently accomplished.
I have seen in previous literature that the researchers used the elastic constant of Al phase independently. But I think that the value must have some relation with reinforced particles. (X-ray...
