ABSTRACT:
A process for making a layered product having a honeycomb core having cells filled with a foam material, the process comprising the steps of: (a) placing a first layer of an uncured, heat-expandable, foamable material on the top side of a central honeycomb core having empty cells, and placing a second layer of an uncured, heat-expandable, foamable material on the bottom side of the central honeycomb core; (b) placing a first layer of an uncured preform material above the first layer of uncured, heat-expandable, foamable material, and placing a second layer of an uncured preform material above the second layer of uncured, heat-expandable, foamable material; (c) placing the charge made by steps (a) and (b) inside a mold and closing the mold; (d) heating the mold to the cure temperature of the heat-expandable, foamable material, and holding the mold at this temperature for sufficient time to expand and cure the heat-expandable, foamable material; (e) reducing the temperature of the mold to the injection temperature of a selected resin transfer molding (RTM) resin system, and injecting the selected resin transfer molding (RTM) resin system into the mold; (f) holding the temperature of the mold at the cure temperature for the resin transfer molding (RTM) resin system for sufficient time to cure the resin system; and, (g) removing the product from the mold after curing is completed.
