Abstract: With the advantages of strong designability, excellent comprehensive performance and high production efficiency, the warp-knitted structures are ideal structures for reinforced composites, which have been widely used in aerospace, architecture, transportation, biomedicine, wind power and other fields. This paper summarizes the latest progress in fiber materials, fabric structures and characteristics, composite processing technologies and typical applications of warp-knitted reinforced materials. The problems and bottlenecks in the development of warp-knitted reinforced composites are summarized and analyzed. And its future development trends are discussed based on the industry background.

Key words: warp-knitted fabric; reinforced structures; composites; application
