<p>This invention concerns a method for reducing the weight of metal-composite laminates that consist of two or more metal foil layers (1) and the polymeric binder layers (2) that hold these metal foil layers together and contain fiber reinforcement (3) designed in view of the intended area of application for the product. The desired weight reduction is achieved according to the invention in that at least parts of the fiber reinforcement (3) are made from hollow fibers, i.e. consist of tubular fibers, each of which contains at least one longitudinal internal hollow channel. The invention also includes products fabricated in accordance with said method.</p> |
