Continuous fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (cited as ceramic matrix composites), as a new type of lightweight structural materials, are highly concerned in many countries. While having the advantages of high temperature stability, corrosion resistance and so on, the materials overcome the shortcomi ng of high brittleness, thus exhibiting high application reliability. They have been among the most potential high-temperature thermal structural materials at present. In the past forty years, ceramic matrix composites have been extensively studied in deve loped countries such as European and American, with wide applications in aerospace, new energy and other fields. In view of different service environments, the progress in research and application of different ceramic matrix composites is reviewed. The research trend is summarized,while the research work of our team is combined, aiming to provide references for further promoting the research and development of ceramic matrix composites.
