Abstract: A novel aramid honeycombs 11 and a method therefor are provided, wherein aramid sheets 1 are used as the base material for forming cell walls 18 of the honeycombs 11. The aramid sheets 1 comprise para-aramid pulps 2, an amount of 40% by weight or less of para-aramid fibers 3 and a binder 4. Each of the aramid sheets 1 is calendered to produce pores 9, which extend from the outer surface to inside, with a porosity of 20% to 60%. Further, a reinforcing resin 10 is adhered to the cell walls 18 of the aramid sheets 1 and the pores are filled with the resin in an amount of 50% by volume based on the pore volume.

Abstract: A honeycomb core or honeycomb structure 1 is made up of an arrangement of hollow cylindrical cells individually separated by cell walls made of base sheets 4. Each base sheet is a complex mixture of para-aramid fibers 2 and meta-aramid pulp material. The para-aramid fibers 2 occupy a weight percentage of from not less than 20% to less than 50% The honeycomb core is made by either the expanding method of the steps of stacking a plurality of base sheets 4, applying stripes of adhesive and then extending the stack or by the corrugating method of the steps of corrugating respective base sheets, stacking and bonding the corrugated sheets. If desired, after-treatment for reinforcement may be executed to apply or impregnating phenolic resin or other impregnating agent.
