Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were chemically grafted onto carbon fiber (CF) by 1,3-propodiamine bridging. The grafting density could be tuned by reaction time and concentration of 1,3-propodiamine. The fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the chemical bonding...
