The strongest, the stiffest, and the cheapest CFs commercially available are compared with CNTs. We show that CNTs are the most viable strengthening option, whereas CFs are the most viable stiffening option. To achieve the true potential of nanotubes, several challenges have to be faced.enCarbon fibersCarbon nanotubesComposite materialsPolymeric materialsTechnikJournal Article10.1016/B978-1-4557-3195-4.00008-4Other
