Abstract
Due to the widespread distribution and difficulty in controlling noise sources, the practical application of sound-absorbing materials is constrained by environmental factors. Responding to growing demands for multifunctional composites, this study developed a perforated HGM/PU composite through textile coating and laser perforation techniques. The composite employs hollow glass microspheres (HGM) as functional fillers, waterborne polyurethane (PU) as the resin matrix, and polyethylene short-fiber geotextiles as reinforcement. The HGM establishes cavity structures within the material to enhance resonance absorption, while simultaneously scattering incident sound waves to extend transmission paths and improve sound absorption efficiency. Orthogonal experimental design was adopted to investigate parametric effects on sound absorption performance. The optimized composite achieved a peak sound absorption coefficient of 0.83 at 4169 Hz. Additionally, the composite exhibits exceptional UV resistance (T(UVA)AV = 0.77 %, UPF >100) and thermal stability (94.75 % mass retention at 400 °C). After thermal aging, the sound absorption coefficient decreased by only 3.08 %. This work successfully demonstrates a multifunctional perforated sound-absorbing composite with integrated properties including UV resistance, thermal aging resistance, and short-term chemical corrosion resistance.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
