This invention is directed to methods of making nanoreinforced carbon fiber and components comprising composite material that contains carbon fiber. In one embodiment, the method entails coating a nanoreinforcement material with a powder coat to form a powder coated nanoreinforcement material and contacting at least one carbon fiber with the powder coated nanoreinforcement material. Preferably, the powder coat is a thermoplastic or adhesive. In another embodiment, the components are aircraft and aircraft components that comprise composite material containing carbon fiber, such that the carbon fiber comprises from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight nanoreinforcement material.
