Can a hollow core door be used to make a interior barn door?

I don't see why not... just make sure that the hardware attachment goes thru the "structural" part of the door and not into the hollow part.
Maybe on a sliding top barn door roller type hardware

Sure, are you wanting to dress it up to look like a barn door? If so home-improvement stores have some wonderful lightweight boards that can be cut and then just glued and painted, be sure you clock them first then mounted on barn door hardware.
sorry, caulk not clock😝 thanks auto correc!
Yes. I had several hollow core bifold doors and I have turned one of them into separate doors. Next up is using them as barn doors that close in the middle. Here's one I saved for later: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/355432595566771114/
Well you sure wouldn't get the barn door effect with a hollow core door, and then because the hardware raises the door above the opening, the door is gonna be too short unless you can find a 96" high one.
