Abstract: A method for producing a sandwich component, in particular an inner trim component for a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The method begins with a core layer made from a foamed plastic and a cover layer which includes reinforcing fibers and plastic fibers. The plastic of the core layer has a first melting temperature which is higher than the second melting temperature of the plastic fibers of the cover layer. By the core layer being arranged on the cover layer, a multilayer composite is created. This multilayer composite can be further processed into a semi-finished product. The multilayer composite or the semi-finished product is then heated in a heating device to a temperature which is lower than the first melting temperature but therefore higher than the second melting temperature. Then the heated multilayer composite or the semi-finished product is formed in a forming tool in order to produce the sandwich component.

Abstract: A composite component for a vehicle has a core layer made from a theiinoplastic plastic foam and at least one cover layer which is connected to the core layer. The core layer has a higher density in one region than the density of the semi-finished core layer. The cover layer formed from a fiber-reinforced plastic is connected in the region of higher density to at least one joining element by friction welding.

Abstract: A sandwich component (10) having a honeycomb core layer (4) and at least one fiber-reinforced thermoplastic outer layer (3) and the corresponding production method. The outer layer (3) is connected to the honeycomb core layer (4) by a thermoplastic material. At least one side of the sandwich component (10 has a decorative layer (1,1?), which is arranged on the outer layer (3). The sandwich component (10) furthermore has at least one foam layer (2), which is arranged between the outer layer (3) and the decorative layer (1,1?), and which is connected to the outer layer (3) and the decorative layer (1,1?).

Abstract: A sandwich component with a moisture barrier and a method for the production thereof. The sandwich component has at least one top layer (2) and one honeycomb core. The top layer (2) has a cover layer (2a) made from reinforcing fibres with a thermoplastic matrix, and the honeycomb has a cellulose-based material and has a plurality of webs (1). The top layer (2) has a barrier layer (2c) made from a thermoplastic material, the melting properties corresponding to the melting properties of the cover layer. An intermediate layer (2b) between the cover layer (2a) and the barrier layer (2c) has reinforcing fibres made from the cover layer (2a) and thermoplastic material of the barrier layer (2c). The reinforcing fibres are permeated by one proportion of the thermoplastic matrix material of the cover layer (2a) and by one proportion of the thermoplastic material of the barrier layer (2c).
