In order to improve the interfacial adhesion of epoxy composites, a hierarchical structure including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on carbon fiber (CF) was prepared by a novel vacuum-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method at relatively low temperature of 400 °C under a pressure of 0.01 MPa....
