Abstract: Super fibers and related advanced composite materials are important part of modern metamaterials and also the forerunner and support materials for new-generation of aviation & aerospace, defense & military and sophisticated sciences. The paper introduces the latest development and applications of some metamatrials including super carbon fiber, PBO fiber, aramid fiber III, PIPD fiber, UHMWPE fiber, super liquid crystal polyaromatic ester fiber and super silicon carbide fiber. It also forecasts the future development of these fibers and points out that carbon nanotubes and graphine fiber will become the new members of the super fiber family.

Key words: super fiber; composite material; carbon fiber; PBO fiber; aramid fiber III; PIPD fiber;UHMWPE fiber; super liquid crystal polyaromatic ester fiber; silicon carbide fiber
