Abstract:

Along with the vigorous development of marine resources, the application of composites in the marine field has been progressed rapidly. The interlaminar properties of traditional laminate composites are weak, and the stitching process could effectively improve its interlaminar properties. In view of the characteristics of the marine environment, the current research status of stitched composites under the marine environment was reviewed. The influence of the marine environment and stitching process on the interlaminar properties, impact damage resistance and in-plane properties of the stitched composites and their corresponding mechanisms were discussed and analyzed in this paper. The potential applications of stitched composites in ships, ship accessories, turbine blade and submarine gasoline fields were summarized. Problems to be solved for marine applications of stitched composites in the marine environment were summarized, and the development trend and application prospect of stitched composites in the marine environment in the future were proposed.

Key words: laminate composite, stitched composite, stitching process, marine environment, interlaminar property
