Abstract: Sizing optimizes the processability of carbon fiber. Although sizing is a small percentage of fiber reinforced composites -normally 0.5 - 5% of its weight- it affects the production and the processing of the fiber, and has a significant impact on the interface properties between the fiber surface and the composite matrix.

Keywords: composites, epoxy, carbon, sizing, prepreg
