Abstract
Aerospace composite materials’ performance and application level are vital symbols for measuring the advancement and dependability of aerospace models, and they are the key materials enabling the development of aerospace models, which define the performance and success of models. This review summarizes recent significant research advances in the fields of thermal structure, heat protection, thermal wave transmission, heat insulation, and structural composite materials, and proposes new materials for extreme environments, reusable anti-thermal insulation materials, third-generation structural composite materials, and new materials for extreme environments. Low-cost and quick composite component manufacturing is an essential avenue for the future development of aerospace composite materials.
