N2 - Pristine carbon fibers are intrinsically brittle, fuzzy, non-polar and possess graphite-based planes which are highly crystallized. These characteristics are limiting to effective interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. Therefore, the ability to modify the surface of carbon fibers present an avenue for enhancing surface functionalities and increasing surface energy which results in improved interfacial properties (wettability) and mechanical properties. In this paper, the current novel techniques for carbon fiber surface treatment are presented. The current direction of the field is reviewed, and emerging technologies are discussed. The comparative study conducted provides insight for optimal selection of treatment approaches depending on the requirement.
