abstract = "To improve the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fibers with polymer matrix, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grafted on the carbon fibers through several processes including desizing of carbon fibers, introductions of a functional group and iron nano-particles, and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) for CNT growth. The current study was focused on the process optimum that can ensure specific distribution and size of grafted CNTs and minimize damages of carbon fibers during the grafting process. Single fiber composites were prepared to investigate the improvement of IFSS due to the grafted CNTs on the carbon fibers.",
