...Tensile tests revealed that CVD processing significantly reduces the ultimate tensile strength of the fiber by an average of 37% in the case of the radially aligned MWCNTs and by 30% in the case of randomly oriented MWCNTs. Similarly, a slight reduction in the average tensile modulus of the fiber by 9% and 13% was observed in the radially aligned and randomly oriented MWCNT coated fibers, respectively....

...The CVD process was adjusted to produce two CNT morphologies for the study: radially aligned and randomly oriented....

...These results are then compared to those of untreated sized and unsized T650 carbon fibers in an effort to determine to what degree the fiber mechanical properties are degraded due to thermal CVD growth of CNTs. Additionally, the effect of the presence as well as the orientation of CNTs on the interfacial shear strength of CNT coated carbon fibers is studied using the single-fiber fragmentation test....

...Two CVD treatments were used; one produced MWCNTs which were radially aligned with respect to the fiber surface, and another which produced randomly oriented MWCNTs with respect to the fiber surface....
