Effect of low‐power air plasma treatment on the mechanical properties of carbon fibres and the interfacial shear strength of carbon fibre—epoxy composites
TL;DR: A low power plasma treatment has been adapted to work on a pilot plant scale to continuously treat a tow of carbon fibres as discussed by the authors, which successfully increases fibre-resin adhesion to levels comparable it not higher than those obtained by commercial electrochemical treatments.

Study of the interaction of carbon fibre surfaces with a monofunctional epoxy resin
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between untreated, commercially treated and air plasma treated carbon fibres was made between X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to determine the chemical changes observed as a result of interactions between carbon fibre surfaces and epoxy resins.
