Composite laminate and its use in sport articles such as shoes

The invention relates to a laminate composite material usable in particular in the manufacture of sports goods, including shoes. The object of the invention to provide a new base material for the garment manufactures in particular sporting goods having stringent mechanical requirements, a cost of very low returns and lightness also large as possible. This object is achieved by the laminate of the invention which comprises a sandwich structure made of a core (2) sandwiched between two skins (3,4), characterized in that :the core (2) and the two skins (3,4) are composite,at least a portion of the fibers of the core (2) are fibers whose resistance mechanics is significantly lower than that of at least some of the fibers of one and / or the other skin (3,4). Preferably the total laminate thickness e is less than or equal to 3 mm. The skins (3,4) are carbon fabric sheets embedded in a resin epoxy, and the core is for example a nonwoven thick polyamide microfibers equal to 0.32 mm. The invention also relates to the manufacture of this laminate and its use for the manufacture of sports goods or for the production of a skin composite laminate. Articles made from this composite microsandwich constitute a Another object of the invention.
