Abstract | Novel sandwich composites made of syntactic foam core, paper skin, and starch adhesive for interface between syntactic foam core and paper skin, were manufactured by varying starch content in adhesive for interface. Two different microsphere size groups (SL75 and SL300) were employed for syntactic foam core manufacture with pre-mould processing method. Mechanical behaviour of manufactured sandwich composites in relation with properties of constituent materials is studied. Skin paper contributed to increase up to 40% in estimated flexural strength over syntactic foams, depending on starch content in adhesive between syntactic foam core and paper skin. Small microsphere size group (SL75) for syntactic foam core was found to be advantageous in strengthening of sandwich composites for a given starch content in adhesive. |
