In this study, interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene were investigated. Two kinds of reinforcements are used. One is non-treated carbon fiber, another is acetone-treated carbon fiber. And two kinds of matrices are used. One is non-treated polypropylene, another is maleic anhydride-polypropylene. Three point flexural tests and micro debonding tests are conducted. As a result, following conclusions are obtained. Acetone treatment and maleic anhydride are effective to the adhesives on the surface between fiber and matrix. But simultaneous treatments are not effective. The shear strength is not dependent on fiber embedded length. The contact angle and fracture load are dependent on fiber embedded length. The interfacial strength is dependent on the contact angle. As the contact angle increases, the interfacial strength increases.
