Abstract: A laminated damping material comprising a layer of high density and high modulus material as a core layer and two layers of higher modulus material being adhered to the core material, the core being sandwiched between the higher modulus layers. The damping material can be further augmented by adhering an additional layer of material exterior to the higher modulus materials if necessary and as needed for the specific application, be it cosmetic, environmental (if resistance to chemical is needed, for example), etc. The damping material can be used for preparing a reinforced composite material which comprises at least one basic multi-layer structure comprising higher modulus material/high modulus panel structure with the layers being bonded with adhesive compatible with both core and outer layer materials and the application where the panel section is used, such as chemical resistance, high heat resistance, etc.
