The main application areas of composite materials include:
① Aerospace field. Due to its good thermal stability, high specific strength and stiffness, composite materials can be used for manufacturing aircraft wings and front fuselage, satellite antennas and their supporting structures, solar cell wings and shells, large launch vehicle shells, engine shells, space shuttle structural components, etc.
② The automotive industry. Due to the special vibration damping characteristics of composite materials, they can reduce vibration and noise, have good fatigue resistance, are easy to repair after damage, and are easy to form as a whole. Therefore, they can be used for manufacturing automotive bodies, load-bearing components, transmission shafts, engine frames, and their internal components.
③ Chemical, textile, and mechanical manufacturing industries. A material composed of carbon fiber and resin matrix with good corrosion resistance, which can be used for manufacturing chemical equipment, textile machines, paper machines, copiers, high-speed machine tools, precision instruments, etc.
④ Medical field. Carbon fiber composite materials have excellent mechanical properties and non X-ray absorption properties, and can be used for manufacturing medical X-ray machines and orthopedic scaffolds.
The carbon fiber composite also has biological Histocompatibility and blood compatibility, good stability in biological environment, and is also used as biomedical materials. In addition, composite materials are also used in the manufacturing of sports devices and as building materials.
