%X ABSTRACT Mechanical alloying has been repeatedly demonstrated as an effective means to create unique structural materials, but it is comparatively rare that functional alloys are produced. Multi-phase functional alloy production is demonstrated with an oxide-dispersed Ni¨CCu catalyst. These catalyst particles are designed to form porosity and catalyze carbon nanofiber deposition in situ, which results in a six-fold increase in deposition rate over traditional preparation methods. This technique serves as a template for many other systems possible with MA. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT Solid state foaming and catalysis are combined using mechanical alloying. A six-fold increase in catalytic activity is achieved using a simple process that can be applied to other systems
