DEVELOPMENT OF HONEYCOMB CORE FROM WASTE A4 PAPER AND INVESTIGATION ON ITS COMPRESSIVE PROPERTIES.

This report discusses on the progress research and work done of basic understanding on the Development of hexagonal Honeycomb core from waste a4 paper. The objective of this project is to develop a production route in order to create the hexagonal honeycomb using waste paper. Abundance of waste paper in the engineering department can be added value to create this product which in the future can be used in engineering application. The development starts by using the raw material which is the waste paper (A4 paper 70 gsm -80gsm) to create a bare core. The development mainly focuses on the expansion process which is the most feasible way to produce the core in the absence of specific machinery. The core will then be strengthened by applying resin as a coating to improve the core properties. Resin curing temperature will be set into three different temperatures. The project also aims to test the properties of the developed honeycomb core. The testing will be done accordingly to the ASTM standard
