Carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber (CF) hybrid fiber was fabricated by sizing unsized CF tow with a sizing agent containing CNT. The hybrid fiber was used to reinforce a thermoplastic polymer to prepare multiscale composite. The mechanical properties of the multiscale composite were characterized. Compared with the base composite (traditional commercial CF), the multiscale composite reinforced by the CNT/CF hybrid fiber shows increases in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact toughness. Laminate containing CNTs showed a 115.4% increase in ILSS and 27.0% increase in impact toughness. The reinforcing mechanism was also discussed by observing the impact fracture morphology. POLYM.
