This review article provides a comprehensive overview of fiber and nanoparticle reinforced
polymer matrix composites (PMC) for their damping and sound absorption properties. It …

Global warming and noise pollution have emerged as the most serious environmental
problems ever to confront humanity. In recent years, the use of natural fibers as thermal …

In the last decade, noise pollution and global warming and their effects on human health
and the environment have received much attention. Building sectors are one of the most …

An innovative natural fibro-granular composite made of kenaf fibers and waste rice husk
granules is developed and presented in this paper. The optimization of the sound absorption …

Current fibrous sound absorbers used in buildings cannot fully satisfy the requirements of
sound absorption at low-frequency bands. These demands may be met by engineered multi …

Thermal insulation and acoustic absorption materials play a significant role in the
characteristics of energy-saving and comfortable modern buildings. However, these two …

The sound absorption and thermal insulation behavior of panels made of different fruit
stones, including peach, apricot, plum, date, and black cherry, were investigated. To this …

In order to meet the demand for thermal insulation and sound absorption, fibrous porous
mullite ceramics (FPMC) with high porosity and an interconnected pore structure were …

The increased awareness of environmental issues has motivated researchers and
manufacturers towards the use of natural acoustic absorbers, which are environmentally …

Owing to the pronounced wave-matter interaction at resonance, meta-absorbers show
impressive potentials for eliminating low-frequency sound even at thicknesses far below the …
