As is known to all

the carbon fiber (CF) was used as a reinforcing body of composite materials due to its excellent mechanical properties in recent years. However

the CF surface lacks polar groups and appears chemical inert on the CF surface so that the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the resin was poor. In order to improve this serious problem

it was obliged to modify the surface properties of the CF. The GO and CNT have a large specific surface areas

the surface contains a large number of polar groups. If they were introduced into the CF surface

which can effectively improve the interface problem between CF and EP. The graphene oxide(GO) and carbon nanotube (CNT)/resin (EP) composites were successfully prepared by the electrophoretic deposition technique

and all kinds of excellent interface properties were shown. In this paper

the applied present situation of CNT and GO were deposited on the CF surface by electrophoretic deposition method at home and abroad are summed up and analyzed

on the above-mentioned basis

the research trends of the modification CF by the electrophoretic deposition carbon nano-materials are discussed

then the prospects of surface modification of CF by electrophoretic deposition methods are forecasted.
