Abstract
The global shift toward Sustainable Materials has necessitated the exploration of natural waste biocomposites as eco-friendly solutions to address the contemporary environmental and industrial noise challenges. This review paper explores recent developments in the use of natural waste biocomposites, focusing on their acoustic properties and potential applications in real-world scenarios. The integration of these Sustainable Materials into biocomposites is analyzed, with a particular focus on their performance in noise reduction, sound absorption, and overall environmental impact. Challenges and opportunities in scaling these Materials for industrial applications are also discussed. Hybrid composites and nano-reinforcement improve acoustic performance, achieving sound absorption coefficients of 0.6–0.8 at mid-to-high frequencies via optimized porosity and fiber-matrix synergy. However, barriers including scalability, durability under environmental stressors like moisture, biodegradation, and economic feasibility limit their industrial adoption. Emerging trends, such as smart biocomposites and hybridization with recycled or nanoscale materials, showed transformative potential.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
