(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to a multilayer composite consisting of a thermoplastic layer and a natural fiber layer bonded by a thermoplastic. The composite comprises at least one reinforcing insert consisting of an open-celled fabric formed of melting fibers, permeated from one or both sides by the melting plastic of an adjacent natural fiber layer and bonded as a reinforcement within the layer. Has a body. However, the reinforcing insert may additionally or alternatively be arranged between the natural fiber layer and the pure thermoplastic layer or only between the thermoplastic layers. In the composite constituted in this way, excellent strength characteristics, particularly with regard to bending strength and impact strength, are achieved. |
