LAMINATE AND PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

A vehicle body part for the outer body of a vehicle having a target impact behaviour, comprises a single ductile metallic layer and a brittle ceramic layer adhered thereto, the ceramic layer comprising essentially a filler and a thermo−setting resin, the filler being a low density filler comprising cenospheres. The laminate provides for a reduction in the risk of serious injury or death to a pedestrian or cycle rider encountering the vehicle when the vehicle and/or person is in motion.
