The invention discloses a temperature-resistant type 
emulsion sizing agent for a carbon 
fiber. The temperature-resistant type 
emulsion sizing agent comprises the following materials: main size, an emulsifying agent, an additive and deionized water, wherein the main size is glycidyl amine type 
epoxy resin modified by dodecanamine, and in modification, the 
mass ratio of dodecanamine to the 
epoxy resin is (10-40) to (60-90); the 
mass of the emulsifying agent is 5-15% of the 
mass of the main size; the additive comprises a diluting agent and a penetrating agent, the mass of the diluting agent is 0-100% of the mass of the main size, and the mass of the penetrating agent is 1-5% of the mass of the main size; the 
mass ratio of the deionized water to the main size is (50-90) to (10-50). The invention also discloses a preparation method and application of the 
sizing agent. The sizing agent disclosed by the invention is high in stability and does not cause 
pollution to the environment, and the preparation method is simple; in the presence of a flexible molecule, namely dodecanamine, the carbon 
fiber has relatively high 
operability; proved by experiments, after the carbon 
fiber is treated by the sizing agent, the post processability is obviously improved; and the interface 
temperature resistance and the 
interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the carbon-fiber-enhanced 
epoxy resin composite material are also obviously improved.
