The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into fiber-reinforced polymer composites has been achieved predominantly via two routes: mixing CNTs entirely throughout the matrix (matrix modification) or attaching CNTs onto reinforcing fibers (interface modification). We studied unidirectional carbon f...
