A standard combustion-based approach typically used to synthesize nanosize oxide powders has been modified to prepare composite oxide-metal powders for subsequent densification via sintering or hot-pressing into ceramic- or metal-matrix composites. Copper and cerium nitrate salts were dissolved in the appropriate ratio in water and combined with glycine, then heated to cause autoignition. The ratio of glycine-to-total nitrate concentration was found to have the largest effect on the composition, agglomerate size, crystallite size, and dispersivity of phases in the powder product. After consolidation and sintering under reducing conditions, the resulting composite compact consists of a well-dispersed mixture of sub-micron size reinforcement particles in a fine-grained matrix.
