Abstract
A decorative panel includes a core provided with an upper side and a lower side; a decorative top structure affixed on the upper side of the core; a first panel edge including a first coupling profile, and a second panel edge including a second coupling profile being designed to engage interlockingly with the first coupling profile of an adjacent panel, both in horizontal direction and in vertical direction. The core includes an alloy of a polymer matrix and elastic particles dispersed in the matrix. The elastic particles are bond to the polymer matrix. The elastic particles are entirely made of elastic material. The polymer matrix includes thermoplastic material.

A decorative panel, comprising:
- a core provided with an upper side and a lower side,
- a decorative top structure affixed on said upper side of the core,
- a first panel edge comprising a first coupling profile, and a second panel edge comprising a second coupling profile being designed to engage interlockingly with said first coupling profile of an adjacent panel, both in horizontal direction and in vertical direction,
- wherein said core comprises an alloy of a polymer matrix and/or a magnesium cement based matrix and elastic particles dispersed in said matrix, wherein the elastic particles are bond to the polymer matrix and/or the magnesium cement based matrix,
- wherein the elastic particles are entirely made of elastic material, and wherein the polymer matrix and/or the magnesium cement based matrix comprises thermoplastic material, and
- wherein the elastic particles are bond to the polymer matrix and/or the magnesium cement based matrix by means of a covalent bond.
