Honeycomb carbon materials use a sandwich construction that provides great versatility through a variety of core and facing material combinations. Key criteria for selecting core, facing, and adhesive materials include structural considerations like strength and stiffness, economic factors, and environmental conditions such as temperature, acoustics, and moisture. The directional properties of honeycomb cores and some facings require orienting the materials to take best advantage of their mechanical attributes.
