Composite materials can also be divided into two types: common and advanced.

The commonly used composite materials, such as fiberglass, are made up of glass fiber reinforced concrete with low properties and ordinary polymers (resins). Because of its low price, it has been widely used in ships, vehicles, chemical pipes and tanks, building structures, sports goods and so on.

Advanced composite materials refer to high performance composites such as carbon fiber and aramid fiber, which are made of high performance and heat-resistant polymer. Later, metal matrix, Tao Ciji and carbon (graphite) base and functional composite materials are included. Their performance is excellent, but the price is relatively high. They are mainly used for defense industry, aerospace, precision machinery, deep submersible, robot structure and high-grade sports goods.
