Sound absorption performance of polyurethane foam could be improved by adding a prepositive microperforated polymethyl methacrylate panel to form a composite sound-absorbing structure. A theoretical sound absorption model of polyurethane foam and that of the composite structure were constructed by the transfer matrix method based on the Johnson–Champoux–Allard model and Maa’s theory. Acoustic parameter identification of the polyurethane foam and structural parameter optimization of the composite structures were obtained by the cuckoo search algorithm. The identified porosity and static flow resistivity were 0.958 and 13078 Pa·s/m2 respectively, and their accuracies were proved by the experimental validation. Sound absorption characteristics of the composite structures were verified by finite element simulation in virtual acoustic laboratory and validated through standing wave tube measurement in AWA6128A detector. Consistencies among the theoretical data, simulation data, and experimental data of sound absorption coefficients of the composite structures proved the effectiveness of the theoretical sound absorption model, cuckoo search algorithm, and finite element simulation method. Comparisons of actual average sound absorption coefficients of the optimal composite structure with those of the original polyurethane foam proved the practicability of this identification and optimization method, which was propitious to promote its practical application in noise reduction.

Spent tea leaves (STL) from tea producing factories can be considered as new resources for sound absorbing polyurethane (PU) matrix composite materials because STL are rich in polyphenols (tannins) which cause high durability, high resistance to fungal and termites, and high resistance to fire. The research aims to study the physical characteristics of STL and the effect of dispersion morphology of STL on the sound absorption properties of polyurethane foam composites by varying filler loading. Three grades of STL fibers either as received or granulated are used in this study, namely BM-FAE and SWBHE derived from the stalk while FIBER-FAE derived from the leaves of the tea plant. The PU/STL composites are fabricated through open molding method with a fiber loading of 16 wt. %. The fabricated composites are then subjected to physical and sound absorption testing as well as microscopic observations to analyze the distribution of filler in composite. The study shows that as-received FIBER-FAE spent tea leaves provide the best sound absorption coefficient and for composites using granulated fibers from any grade have lower sound absorption coefficient. These results show that a novel kind of sound absorption materials with the recycling of waste materials can be obtained for the solution of noise and environmental pollution.

A novel rigid sound-absorbing material made from used palm oil-based polyurethane foam (PUF) and water hyacinth fiber (WHF) composite was developed in this research. The NCO index was set at 100, while the WHF content was set at 1%wt with mesh sizes ranging from 80 to 20. The mechanical properties, the morphology, the flammability, and the sound absorption coefficient (SAC) of the PUF composite were all investigated. When the WHF size was reduced from 80 to 20, the compression strength of the PUF increased from 0.33 to 0.47 N/mm2. Furthermore, the use of small fiber size resulted in a smaller pore size of the PUF composite and improved the sound absorption and flammability. A feasible sound-absorbing material was a PUF composite with a WHF mesh size of 80 and an SAC value of 0.92. As a result, PUF derived from both water hyacinth and used palm oil could be a promising green alternative material for sound-absorbing applications.

In recent years, noise has become a serious hazard and can have permanent biological and psychological effects on humans and other organisms in nature. Textile materials are commonly used as absorbent acoustic materials for noise reduction. This work examines the use of electrospun nylon-6 and polyurethane nanofibres (PU NFs) to improve the sound absorption and sound insulation properties of polyurethane foam. In this work, nylon-6 and polyurethane nanofibres were prepared by an electrospinning technique and were glued to a polyurethane foam. The sound absorption coefficient of the materials was measured by the impedance tube method. An impedance tube was used to measure the sound absorption and airborne sound insulation. The results showed decreased sound absorption properties, whereas the sound insulation was highly enhanced when polyurethane/nanofibre hybrids were used, as compared to the pristine polyurethane foam. Furthermore, the sound insulation properties of polyurethane foam were highly enhanced when the foam was combined with nylon-6 NFs, compared with the polyurethane foam with PU NFs. Therefore, by investigating the acoustic characteristics of electrospun nylon-6 and PU nanofibres, we believe that this study can broaden the application of electrospun nanofibres for sound pollution control.
