1. A method of manufacturing a translucent, structured-core laminate panel in a manner that substantially resists delamination, and without use of an adhesive film, comprising:

  • preparing a laminate assembly comprising one or more resin substrates having a first glass transition temperature positioned about a structured core having a second melt or glass transition temperature, wherein the first glass transition temperature is lower than the second melt or glass transition temperature;

    heating the laminate assembly to a processing temperature at least as great as the first glass transition temperature but below the second melt or glass transition temperature, wherein a portion of the one or more resin substrates flows into the structured core; and

    cooling the laminate assembly below the first glass transition temperature to create a unitary structured-core laminate panel;

    wherein the one or more resin substrates bond to the structured core without substantial deformation of the structured core.
