Development of an innovative composite sandwich matting with GFRP facesheets and wood core

This paper presents the concept, design, fabrication, application and experimental validation of a new type of composite sandwich matting. The composite sandwich matting comprises a paulownia woods as core material and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) as face-skins and lattice-webs. The matting...
