Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are incorporated into the silane coating on fiber surface to enhance the interfacial bonding of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite. The results of microbond tests show that the interfacial shear strength of the prepared hybrid composites can be significantly increas...
