    摘要: Various embodiments disclosed relate to an aqueous dispersion. The aqueous dispersion includes a plurality of particles. Each of the particles includes a polycarbonate component. Individual particles of the polycarbonate component have substantially the same size. The dispersion further includes a plasticizer component and a surfactant component. In an embodiment, a sized carbon fiber tow can comprise: a polycarbonate sizing on a carbon fiber tow, wherein the polycarbonate sizing has a concentration of volatile organic compounds less than 10 ppm, preferably less than 5 ppm, or less than 2 ppm; and an average sizing content of at least 0.5 wt % of the carbon fiber tow with a coefficient of variation less than 15%, preferably less than 11%.
