<p>This invention relates to processes of making a honeycomb comprising cell s having edges forming a face of the honeycomb, the face defined by a plural ity of points, at least two of the points located in different tangential pl anes, with the particular steps of : a) pressing the cured or partially cure d honeycomb in a direction perpendicular to a plane of parallel lines of adh esive to fracture at least a portion of the thermoset resin, b) pulling the pressed honeycomb apart in a direction perpendicular to a plane of parallel lines of adhesive to form a honeycomb having fracture points; c) bending, mo lding, or forming the honeycomb having fracture points in a mold or over a f orm, d) heating the honeycomb to allow the thermoplastic material to flow to the fracture points; and e) cooling the honeycomb to substantially retain t he shape of the mold or form. This invention also relates to a shaped honeyc omb made by this process wherein less than 25 percent of the honeycomb cells have a re-entrant angle of greater than 180 degrees.</p> |
