AB  - To improve the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of carbon fiber reinforced 
      epoxy composite, networks of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were grown on 
      micron-sized carbon fibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were 
      dispersed into the epoxy matrix so that these two types of carbon nanotubes 
      entangle at the carbon fiber (CF)/epoxy matrix interface. The MWNTs on the CF 
      fiber (CF-MWNTs) were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), while the 
      single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were finely dispersed in the epoxy matrix 
      precursor with the aid of a dispersing agent polyimide-graft-bisphenol A 
      diglyceryl acrylate (PI-BDA) copolymer. Using vacuum assisted resin transfer 
      molding, the SWNT-laden epoxy matrix precursor was forced into intimate contact 
      with the "hairy" surface of the CF-MWNT fiber. The tube density and the average 
      tube length of the MWNT layer on CF was controlled by the CVD growth time. The 
      ILSS of the CF-MWNT/epoxy resin composite was examined using the short beam shear 
      test. With addition of MWNTs onto the CF surface as well as SWNTs into the epoxy 
      matrix, the ILSS of CF/epoxy resin composite was 47.59 +/- 2.26 MPa, which 
      represented a  approximately 103% increase compared with the composite made with pristine CF 
      and pristine epoxy matrix (without any SWNT filler). FESEM established that the 
      enhanced composite did not fail at the CF/epoxy matrix interface.
