Abstract: Polymer matrix composites have good application prospects in the field of marine engineering due to their characteristics like light weight, high strength and high modulus. Composite materials are mainly used in national defense and marine energy development, such as naval vessels, weapon underwater, offshore drilling platforms, offshore tidal power stations, offshore wind turbine blades, large seawater farms, desalination, etc.This paper introduces the application of polymer matrix composites in offshore drilling platform, and summarizes the application of composite material riser, winding composite pipe and composite cable and other components. Besides, it also points out the future technological development direction of composite materials for offshore drilling platform.

Key words: polymer matrix composites, marine engineering, offshore drilling platforms, weapon underwater
