Abstract: In recent years, carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites(CFRTP), especially carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone(CF/PEEK) composites, have received a lot of attention due to their excellent comprehensive properties. High performance polyether ether ketone composites has many advantages, such as excellent strength and stiffness, good toughness, high temperature resistance, making it widely used in aerospace, machinery, electrical, automotive and biological engineering fields. The research progress of carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone composites in the aspects of interfacial properties, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, forming process and failure mechanism were reviewed, which laid a foundation for the preparation technology research and industrial application of the materials.
