Development of honeycomb cell structure and materials

A new type Korex honeycomb cell materials was introduced. Korex is an aramid/phenolic high mo dulus,high strength true composite honeycomb core. It was first introduced in 1992 in response to industry desires for a lightweight composite core with greater stiffness, strength and fatigue resistance. The mechanical properties and typical application properties for Korex honeycomb core of different cell density have been also compared in the article. A few new type honeycomb structure have been given. The research for new type honeycomb cell structure and materials will efficiently increase the mechanical properties of honeycomb structure, decrease their structure weight and enhance their working reliability. All these are very beneficial to enlarge the application of honeycomb structure in aerospace and other industry fields.
