In addition to glass fibers, PBT can also be reinforced with carbon fibers. Many of the general trends seen with glass fibers are also observed with carbon fibers. One important aspect of carbon fibers is that they may bring electrical conductivity to PBT if sufficient fiber connectivity is achieved in the final part. Metal fibers and metal-coated carbon fibers have also been compounded with PBT, giving not only improved mechanical properties but also molded parts with enhanced ability to shield components from electromotive and radiofrequency interference (EMI-RFI) [33],...

In order to improve the surface properties of carbon fibers without affecting the mechanical properties of the reinforcing fibers, various monomers, including pyrrole and carbazole, were used to electrograft conjugated copolymers and produce homogeneous and continuously coated carbon fiber surfaces <2001SM391>.
