Partially reduced graphene oxide as a multi-functional sizing agent for carbon fiber composites by electrophoretic deposition. 

 -  RSC Advances, 3(48), p.25609-25613, 2013 .
<br/><br/> Partially reduced graphene oxide (pRGO)was coated on carbon fibers by an anodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Coated-pRGO increased surface energy and wettability of carbon fiber. As a multi-functional sizing agent, pRGO enhanced both mechanical and electrical properties of the carbon fiber composite in spite of introducing a very small amount of less than 0.001 wt per cent.
