Hollow Core BioPanels

The authors present a relatively new concept of reinforced hollow core sandwich panels, their manufacturing and analysis in this book. The journey begins at the initial material selection stage, taking you through series of detailed intermediate objectives undertaken to manufacture robust BioPanels, to a final application stage where the functionalities of these panels are highlighted. This book is presented more or less in a thesis format, containing experimentally validated theoretical models which may be applied directly to obtain optimised structures for a wide range of applications. The overall content in this book can be easily followed by general audience and the concept presented is useful particularly for those who are seeking to substitute synthetic materials with eco-friendly bio-based products. This book may also be useful for budding researchers wishing to conduct research in the area of bio-based sandwich panels as a reference.
