Carbon fiber composite materials can be divided into resin-based carbon fiber composite materials, ceramic carbon fiber composite materials, metal carbon fiber composite materials, concrete and other carbon fiber composite materials according to different matrixes. Among them, the resin-based carbon fiber composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resin. Because of its small specific gravity, good rigidity and high strength, it has become an advanced aerospace material and is widely used in sports and leisure, automobile manufacturing, electronic and electrical, etc. field.
