N2 - The epoxy matrix in a carbon fiber/epoxy composite was modified with MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) to improve the matrix dominated thermomechanical properties of the composite. The dispersion of the CNTs was enhanced with a commercial block copolymer. A pronounced improvement in matrix dominated properties of the composite was achieved by reinforcing the matrix with 0.5 wt% of MWCNTs with the block copolymer. The Tg, was increased by 39 °C, and the in-plane compressive strength and interlaminar shear strength were increased by 39 % and 15 %, respectively.
