SUMMARY:

This study investigates the fabrication and testing of sandwich panels composed of aluminium faces
and bamboo-based cores with semicylindrical shapes. Two core configurations are explored: unidirectional
and alternated alignment of the semicylinders. A biobased adhesive derived from castor oil is used for bonding
the skins to the core. The panels are characterised via a three-point bending test to statistically compare their
ultimate mean stress. Results demonstrate significant potential for combining sustainability with effective
mechanical performance across the proposed sandwich structures. The panels exhibit a load capacity of up to
6 kN under three-point bending, with the alternated core configuration enhancing flexural strength by up to
9% compared to the unidirectional architecture.
