Thanks

The authors would like to thank the other co-authors of this article, Dr. Thomas Neumeyer, Head of the Plastics Business Unit at Neue Materialien Bayreuth, and Prof. Volker Altstädt, Managing Director of Neue Materialien Bayreuth GmbH and holder of the Chair in Polymer Materials at the University of Bayreuth.

The authors would also like to thank the participating project partners: Airbus, BASF, BMW, Nennah Gessner, Neue Materialien Bayreuth, Werkzeugbau Siegfried Hofmann, Foldcore, TU Munich and SGL for the successful collaboration.

This article deals primarily with the process that was developed. The project also tested various core and surface layer systems of the partners, as well as foldcores and an injection-molded honeycomb core.

The authors also thank the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for funding the MAI Sandwich research initiative as part of the MAI Carbon Excellence Cluster (FKZ: 03MAI32).
