A RESINOUS MATERIAL SUITABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF LAMINATED STRUCTURES AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A RETICULATED STRUCTURE OF SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM THICKNESS

摘要

A resinous material suitable for the fabrication of laminated structures comprising a first layer of resin and at least one second layer of filled resin contiguous with the first layer, the second layer being flowable under a compressive force. In the manufacture of a reticulated laminated structure of substantially uniform thickness, the thickness of the second layer varies in accordance with the number of first layers overlying one another at crossover nodes in the reticulated structure, with the second layer flowing from between the plies of the first layer at the nodes due to compressive forces applied to achieve such substantially uniform thickness.
