Laminate Sample #11: Infused Flax / Epoxy on Cork Core

Laminate Sample #11 in the Explore Composites! Materials Library: This is my first foray into "bio-composites" (materials derived from largely un-fossilized plant matter) for the material library. I guess balsa core counts, but here the core AND the fiber reinforcement are plant-based in a direct kind of way. The core is 6mm CoreCork N10 from Amorim. This was given to me as a sample by Core Composites, the US distributor for CoreCork products. Thank you! Core Composites: https://www.corecomposites.com/produc... Amorim CoreCork: https://amorimcorkcomposites.com/en/m... The fiber is 400g Biotex flax from Composites Evolution (purchased through Easy Composites, UK). Composites Evolution: https://compositesevolution.com/produ... The resin is not directly bio-derived. It's the same Proset 114LV epoxy used in many of the other samples. The part infused slowly but completely, much to my surprise! Doing it again, I would drill holes in the cork the same as I have done with foam and balsa in other samples. Leaving the dry stack under the bag for longer would help too. I'm not sure what happened with the Compoflex hybrid peel ply/flow media. I have used it before and it works great and usually peels right off. This was cut off an old sample roll that may have been contaminated - or maybe I did something wrong. Will look into this more in the future because it is a good product to know about. Fibertex Compoflex: https://www.fibertex.com/products/com...
