Abstract
In recent years, carbon composite materials are used more and more widely, and the technology is more and more mature. Among the carbon fiber composites, one material has become an important structural material in the aerospace field, which is carbon fiber epoxy resin composite material (CFERCM). Since the advent of CFERCM, it has been developed into an ideal structural material because of its high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, high modulus and so on. In order to have a better understanding of the properties and applications of CFERCM, this paper mainly uses research method of review, systematically summarizes the development and applications in the field of aerospace and aviation to display the relationship between its properties and applications, showing the characteristic of CFERCM. As for the development, it mainly includes the history, preparation and properties of CFERCM. After that, this paper introduces two main fields of application, which are aerospace and aviation. Finally, some prospects of CFERCM in the future are presented and suggested for further studies. This paper concludes that CFERCM is a new, relatively simple to prepare, excellent structural material, it is widely used, especially in the field of aerospace.
