Abstract:
The present invention relates to filled polymeric materials including a thermoplastic polymer and a metallic filler and to light weight composite materials, which comprise a metallic layer and a polymeric layer, the polymeric layer containing the filled polymeric material. The filled polymeric material preferably is an extruded sheet. The composite materials of the present invention may be formed using conventional stamping equipment at ambient temperatures and/pr welded to other metal materials using conventional welding techniques.

Claim (Index 1):
A sandwich composite material comprising:\n a first sheet of metal having a first thickness; a second sheet of metal having a second thickness; and an extrusion of a filled polymeric material having a thickness attached to the first sheet of metal and interposed between the first sheet of metal and the second sheet of metal, that includes:\n a. a polymeric phase including an ethylene-octene copolymer or an ethylene-hexene copolymer; \n b. b. a filler phase including metallic filler, \n wherein the sandwich composite material has a total thickness of less than about 10 mm; the combined thickness of the first sheet of metal and the second sheet of metal is about 20 percent to about 70 percent of the total thickness of the sandwich composite material; the thickness of the filled polymeric material is greater than about 30 percent of the total thickness of the sandwich composite material; the concentration of pores and voids in the filled polymeric material is 0 volume percent to 5 volume percent, based on the total volume of the filled polymeric material; and the sandwich composite material is capable of being drawn to a draw ratio greater than about 1.5.
