Check with producers. I recall some carbon fiber is adhesion actived by
heating in oxygen to produce carboxyls and some of this is sized with epoxy.
Maybe you want virgin carbon fiber. Kevlar, I do not believe, has any
special sizing. There would be chemistry that could work such as patents I
have on sulfonyl azides.
