Abstract
Sandwich composite constructions with superior thermal and acoustic insulation properties are provided. In addition, the sandwich composite constructions are lightweight and have a mechanical integrity that may allow them to withstand an impact force of five pounds per square inch or more. One aspect of the present invention relates to the composition of the sandwich constructions, while another relates to methods of fabricating the sandwich composite constructions. Materials incorporated into the constructions include fibrous material, aerogel, resin, separation material, and insulating material, such as a foam. A vacuum assisted resin transfer method (VARTM) may be used to manufacture the sandwich composites by infusing resin into a composite preform such that the resin is received into at least a portion of the fibrous material pores. Water soluble tooling materials may be used as the substrate for the preform to fabricate sandwich composite panels having either simple or complex geometries.
