A honeycomb core for dimensionally stable components (e.g., a reflector) in sandwich construction with a plurality of cells with a triangular cell cross section made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The honeycomb core is assembled from flat laminate strips by plugging, wherein the laminate strips have slots running transversely to the extension direction respectively on their longitudinal side. The laminate strips are connected to one another in such a way that the slots of three laminate strips engage in a positive-locking manner in one another at a respective intersection point to form the corners of the cells of the honeycomb core.

Disclosed are thermoset/thermoplastic composites that include a thermoset component directly or indirectly bonded to a thermoplastic component via a crosslinked binding layer between the two. The crosslinked binding layer is bonded to the thermoplastic component via epoxy linkages and is either directly or indirectly bonded to the thermoset component via epoxy linkages. The composite can be a laminate and can provide a route for addition of a thermoplastic implant to a thermoset structure.

There is provided a composite structure, comprising a base member(s) made of metallic material, and a reinforcement member(s) made of fiber reinforced plastic including reinforcement fibers which are aligned in a uni-direction, wherein at least one slit is formed on the reinforcement member(s) so as to extend in an orientation direction of the reinforcement fibers.

To provide a composite material with good formability into a three-dimensional shape and good productivity, a sheet for core material 10 to be used for manufacturing a composite material 30, comprising a sheet for core material layer 11 to be used for a core material layer 33 of the composite material 30 in which multiple divided portions divided from each other with cuts formed by half-cutting one face side of the sheet for core material layer in a direction of its thickness are arranged two-dimensionally in a plan view, the sheet for core material layer having the traces that half-cutting was conducted by press-cutting or laser-cutting.
