The Core

Studies on recycled materials emerged during recent years. This paper investigates samples’ sound absorption properties for panels fabricated of a mixture of paper sludge (PS) and clay mixture. PS was the core material. The sound absorption was measured. We also consider the influence of an air gap between panels and rigid backing. Different air gaps (50, 100, 150, 200 mm) simulate existing acoustic panel systems. Finally, the PS and clay composite panel sound absorption coefficients are compared to those for a typical commercial absorptive ceiling panel. The average sound absorption coefficient of PS-clay composite panels (αavg. in the frequency range from 250 to 1600 Hz) was up to 0.55. The resulting average sound absorption coefficient of panels made of recycled (but unfinished) materials is even somewhat higher than for the finished commercial (finished) acoustic panel (αavg. = 0.51).

New Perspective

The underwater acoustic siphon effect is proposed in this work, which aims to reveal the basic physical mechanism of high-efficiency sound absorption in meta-structures composed of multiple detuned units. Furthermore, the influence of the area ratio on the underwater acoustic siphon effect is then investigated by finite element simulation (FES) and theoretical calculation. On this basis, a meta-structure with the maximum absorption coefficient of almost 100% and average absorption coefficient of 80% at 600–1400 Hz is achieved. The underwater acoustic siphon effect could provide a better understanding of high-efficiency sound absorption and offer a new perspective in controlling underwater noises.

Preliminary Study

Synthetic acoustic materials are known for their poisonous chemical substance to the environment and also the particles which are harmful to human health. Research is now directed towards finding an alternative acoustic absorber made from natural materials. This paper presents the utilization of bamboo, a natural material having hollow structure to act as sound absorber. In an impedance tube test, the hollow path is arranged to face the sound incidence. The result reveals that bamboo having length of 2 cm has average absorption coefficient of 0.95 at frequency above 3 kHz. Performance at lower frequencies can be controlled by adding the air gap behind the system. Introduction of microholes along the body shows no significant effect to increase the sound absorption.

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.

Flexible polyurethane (PU) foams comprising various additive components were synthesized to improve their acoustic performances. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various additive components of the PU foams on the resultant sound absorption, which was characterized by the impedance tube technique to obtain the incident sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss. The maximum enhancement in the acoustic properties of the foams was obtained by adding fluorine-dichloroethane (141b) and triethanolamine. The results showed that the acoustic absorption properties of the PU foams were improved by adding 141b and triethanolamine and depended on the amount of the water, 141b, and triethanolamine.

Abstract This article reports on impedance tube measurements of the sound absorption coefficient α (-) of selected recycled foam plastics, i.e., ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP), in different mixtures with a binding adhesive. The effect of the thickness of the sample on the sound absorption spectrum as well as the variability in absorption across the different samples of the same composition and thickness are discussed. For the EVA/ PP and PS/PP mixtures, the spectrum is characterized by two peaks that shift as the thickness is changing. These mixtures were also found to be the most absorbent across the whole audible frequency range.

In order to find a reasonable way to use the waste corn husk, waste degummed corn husk fibers were used as reinforcing material in one type of composite material. And polylactic acid particles were used as matrix material. The composite materials were prepared by mixing and hot-pressing process, and they were processed into the micro-slit panel. Then, the multi-layer structural sound absorption composite materials were prepared sequentially by micro-slit panel, air cavity, and flax felt. Finally, the sound absorption properties of the multi-layer structural composite materials were studied by changing flax felt thickness, air cavity depth, slit rate, and thickness of micro-slit panel. As the flax felt thickness varied from 0 to 10 mm in 5 mm increments, the peak of sound absorption coefficient shifted to low frequency. The sound absorption coefficient in the low frequency was improved with the air cavity depth varied from 0 to 10 mm in 5 mm increments. With the slit rate increased from 3% to 7% in 2% increments, the peak of sound absorption coefficient shifted to high frequency. With the thickness of micro-slit panel increased from 2 to 6 mm in 2 mm increments, the sound absorption bandwidth was broaden, and the peak of sound absorption coefficient was increased and shifted to low frequency. Results showed that the highest sound absorption coefficient of the multi-layer structural composite materials was about 1 under the optimal process conditions.

In this study, the effects of physical parameters on sound absorption properties of nonwoven fabrics were investigated. Eight different nonwoven composites including different fiber types mixed with different ratios were tested. Along with sound absorption properties, thickness, weight per area, and air permeability parameters of the samples were measured. The increase in thickness and the decrease in air permeability results in an increase in sound absorption properties of the material. The samples including 70% cotton and 30% polyester resulted in the best sound absorption coefficient in the mid-to-high frequency ranges. The increase in the amount of fiber per unit area resulted in an increase in sound absorption of the material. Addition of acrylic and polypropylene into a cotton and polyester fiber mixture increased the sound absorption properties of the composite in the low and mid-frequency ranges also.

The porous nanocrystalline Fe0.2(Co20Ni80)0.8 alloy microfibers with diameters of 2-4 μm have been prepared by the citrate-gel and phase transformation process. The sound absorption coefficient for microfibers samples is measured by the standing wave tube method and it is is over 0.8 for the 15 mm thick sample at the frequency range of 2300-6000 Hz, which is extended to 600-6300 Hz for the 40 mm thick sample. The band width with the sound absorption coefficient above 0.6 is wider than 4300 Hz for the 15 mm thick sample and 5800 Hz for the 40 mm thick sample. For the 40 mm thick sample, the maximum absorption coefficient, noise absorption coefficient, noise reduction coefficient and half-width of the absorption peak are 0.99, 0.59, 0.64 and 5828 Hz, respectively. These microfibers are promising advanced acoustic absorbers.
