Three composite skin configurations were examined: (i) unidirectional (UD) carbon/epoxy sheets representing aligned virgin fibre reinforcement, (ii) randomly oriented recycled carbon fibre (rCF) mats consolidated by hand layup with epoxy, and (iii) randomly oriented rCF/epoxy sheets consolidated by hot pressing. The AlF core structure analysis revealed a low density and uniform open-cell structure ideal for lightweight cores. Comprehensive testing revealed significant performance differences between skin types and manufacturing methods, underscoring the critical role of processing – particularly hot pressing – in enhancing fibre compaction, matrix consolidation and interfacial bonding between the core and facesheets. Unidirectional carbon fibre skins achieved the highest flexural stiffness. In contrast, hot-pressed rCF mats provided the most balanced properties, combining high compression, damage resistance, and flexural strength, due to improved consolidation and reduced porosity in the face sheets. Thus, hybrid sandwich structures fabricated from recycled AlF core and rCF represent a viable, environmentally responsible alternative for aerospace, automotive, and protective applications requiring lightweight, high-strength, and damage-resistant materials. true NATIONAL 2025 false true true false true false GOLD 2026-02-10 true https://doi.org/10.3144/expresspolymlett.2025.88 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 6 Q2 false 10035283 false false false 2025-10-02T04:18:51.286+0000 Express Polymer Letters szerkesztősége (Kiadók / MTA KFB); HUN-REN-BME Kompozittechnológiai Kutatócsoport (BME / GPK / PT); MTA-BME Lendület Fenntartható Polimerek Kutatóc...
