Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are expected to be used for the structural parts of automobiles and aircrafts due to their mechanical properties, including high specific stiffness and high specific strength. It was reported that grafting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the carbon fiber can im...
