Polymer-Based Acoustic Composite Materials for Urban Noise Mitigation: Design, Performance and Legal Integration
Abstract: This study explores the development and use of polymer-based acoustic composite materials for effective urban noise mitigation, wherein the performance of the materials is linked to legal compliance frameworks. Rapid urbanization has intensified noise pollution from transportation, industrial activity, and construction, posing a serious threat to public health and environmental quality. Although regulatory standards exist, their implementation is often limited due to inadequate technical interventions. This research focuses on advanced …

Thermal Stability and Sound Absorption Behaviour of Sisal–Luffa Hybrid Epoxy Composites for Automotive Interior Applications
Abstract: Natural fiber–reinforced composites are gaining popularity as substitutes for synthetic fiber composites because of their environmental and sustainability advantages. Their adoption is steadily increasing across various industries. In automotive interior applications, these materials must exhibit strong thermal stability and efficient sound absorption to meet performance requirements. In this experiment, composites were made by mixing sisal and luffa fibers with epoxy resin. The hand lay-up method was used for fabrication. Two …
