Abstract: A composite comprising a core, a first cover layer and a second cover layer, wherein the core is provided from an uncut flat body, wherein the core is a three dimensional structure having a first main surface and a second main surface, the first cover layer is in contact with the first main surface creating multiple contact areas and the second cover layer is in contact with the second main surface creating multiple contact areas, wherein the multiple contact areas between the first cover layer and the first main surface are offset in x-direction and y-direction to the multiple contact areas between the second cover layer and the second main surface, characterized in that the first cover layer and the second cover layer are different.

Abstract: A composite structure for interior lining includes a honeycomb structure having a first main surface and a second main surface, a first nonwoven layer of fibers bonded to the honeycomb structure at the first main surface or the second main surface. The honeycomb structure and the first nonwoven layer of fibers include thermoplastic polymeric materials. The honeycomb structure is provided from an uncut flat body and includes a plurality of honeycomb cells, and the honeycomb cells are delimited by walls. A film, including a thermoplastic polymeric material, is located in the composite structure between the first nonwoven layer of fibers and the honeycomb structure and/or bonded to the honeycomb structure at the main surface opposite to the main surface at which the first nonwoven layer of fibers is bonded to the honeycomb structure.

Abstract: A ballistic-resistant molded article includes a compressed stack of sheets made up of reinforcing tapes having a tensile strength of at least 1.0 GPa, a tensile modulus of at least 40 GPa, and a tensile energy-to-break of at least 15 J/g, the direction of the tapes within the compressed stack being not unidirectional. The stack includes a first layer of sheets including reinforcing tapes and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as matrix material and a further layer of sheets including reinforcing tapes and a thermoplastic elastomer as matrix material, wherein the further layer includes 0.2-8 wt. % matrix material.
