Is there a relationship between length of reinforcing fibre and the strength imparted to the composite?

Is there a minimum length below which there is no appreciable increase in composite strength? E.g. if i use carbon fibre strands 0.05mm long in a resin matrix, will it actually increase the strength and stiffness? I suspect no! What are the tradeoffs if any?
