Preparation carbon nanotube-decorated carbon fibers under low pressure for epoxy-based unidirectional hierarchical composites with enhanced interlaminar shear strength

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown in-situ on the surface of carbon fibers (CFs) at low pressure by a vertical chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor. The surface of CFs was modified by electrochemical anodization, and the growth morphology and other properties of CNTs were analyzed by...
