                         nanotube/carbon fiber (CNT/CF) hybrid composites by growing CNTs 
                         onto CF. The growth of CNTs on the surface of CF is a promising 
                         approach for improving mechanical, electrical and thermal 
                         properties of structural composites [1-3]. However, there are 
                         several problems on growing CNTs on CF substrate such as: (a) the 
                         catalysts of transition metals can easily diffuse into the CF; (b) 
                         mixed phases of carbon materials can be formed on the surface of 
                         the CF; (c) the CNTs may grow only locally on the surface of the 
                         substrate [2,3,4-8]; and (d) the synthesis conditions used for the 
                         CNT growth may cause the introduction of defects that can 
                         significantly degrade the CF properties. In this work, it is shown 
                         that CNT forests can easily be grown on amorphous Si interface 
                         deposited on the surface of CF to obtain a multiphase CNT/Si/CF. 
                         In this method, Si acts as a barrier, preventing the Fe catalyst 
                         to diffuse into the CF. Tensile test were carried out to verify if 
                         the mechanical strenght was affected by growth process.",
