Carbon fiber composite performance can be enhanced by applying an optimum level of fiber surface treatment such as whiskerization. The main objectives of this study were to conduct whiskerization through carbon nanotube (CNT)-coating of carbon fiber via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) at various co...
