Abstract: The current research status of the joint techniques of composite materials is reviewed, which includes the mechanical joint, adhesive joint and hybrid joint. The advantages and disadvantages, applicable fields, and the prospect of these joints are explained in this study. The results show the traditional mechanical joint has strong ability to resist the inter-laminar shear and stripping, which is suitable for heavy load. The adhesive joint is a kind of efficient and low-cost joint techniques with light weight and high efficiency, so it suits for complicated thin-walled parts. And the hybrid joint has the advantages of the mechanical joint and the adhesive joint, namely, the reliable quality and resistance to the harsh environment, so it can join the heterogeneous parts. Finally, the join techniques of composite materials in the direction of structural integration in the future are discussed.

Key words: composite materials, mechanical joints, adhesive joints, hybrid joints, prospects
