abstract = "The addition of the nano-carbon fillers is expected to improve the corresponding mechanical properties of the polymer matrix for high-performance fiber productions. This increase in the properties depends on the distribution of nano-carbons, as well as the interaction between the polymer and the filler. This work focuses on understanding how the nano-carbons can affect the formation of the polymer interfacial morphology to form self-reinforcement polymer-interphase regions in the composite. This study outlines the analysis of composites with low nano-carbon loadings (<1 wt%) in order to study this structure-property relationship. The results have shown that predominant interphase growth led to the significant mechanical property increase, corresponding to highest polymer chain orientation, longest lamellar height, and most compact crystal packing structures.",
