The composites obtained from carbon fibers have poor interlaminar shear strength beacuse ofthe few active polar groups on the carbon fiber surface and the weak bonding between the carbonfiber and the resin matrix. An electrolysis study to increase the surface acidic groups of the carbonfiber was investigated in this paper. Experimental results showed that the surface acidic groups,tensile strength, peeling strength of the carbon fabrics increased under certain electrolytic condi-tions, but the breaking elongations decreased. When the electrolytic conditions were too strong,tensile strength and peeling strength dropped down. Electronic scanning micrographs showed theengraved surfaces of carbon fibers after electrolysis.
