Water Hyacinth Fiber

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.

Spent Tea Leaves

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.

Polyurethane foam wastes is one of the environmental problems for which are not still the efficient solutions of valorization. This paper presents the possibility of recovering polyurethane foam waste by obtaining some new materials with sound absorption properties. The polyurethane foam wastes were ground and mixed, in proportion of 0, 3, 5, 7 and 12 wt%, with bicomponent polyurethane foam as a binder, resulting 5 new materials. The sound-absorbing properties of the new materials have been determined and it can be observed that the sound-absorbing properties of rigid polyurethane foam with closed pores can be improved by adding polyurethane foam waste to its structure. In addition, the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the new materials were studied.

Abstract The sound absorption property of polyurethane (PU) foams loaded with natural tea-leaf fibers and luffa cylindrica (LC) has been studied. The results show a significant improvement in the sound absorption property parallel to an increase in the amount of tea-leaf fibers (TLF). Using luffa-cylindrica as a filler material improves sound absorption properties of soft foam at all frequency ranges. Moreover, an increase in the thickness of the sample resulted in an improvement of the sound absorption property. It is pleasing to see that adding tea-leaf fibers and luffa-cylindrica to the polyurethane foam demonstrate a significant contribution to sound absorption properties of the material and it encourages using environmental friendly products as sound absorption material in further studies.
