The surface of both oxidized and unoxidized unsized carbon fiber was functionalized using an aziridine linking group derived from reactive nitrenes, attempts were made to install pendant amines using amide chemistry. Surface functionalization using the nitrene approach was supported by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, in both oxidized and unoxidized carbon fiber. None of the chemical treatment pathways had a significant impact on the tensile strength of the individual fibers, and atomic force microscopy revealed that fibers undergoing these treatment methodologies remained intact, without creating additional surface defects.
