Sound Insulation Properties of Abandoned Fibers Composites

In this article, in order to study the sound insulation properties, abandoned cotton and jute fibers were conducted as reinforced materials, TPU and PP were conducted as matrix materials, and double roller mixing and hot pressing molding processes were adopted to prepare composites. Through the L12 (42×13) mixed orthogonal experiment, cotton/TPU, cotton/PP, jute/TPU and jute/PP composites were prepared respectively. Standing wave tube and impedance tube’s sound absorbing and insulation test system which was produced by Beijing Prestige Company were employed to test the sound insulation (transmission loss). And they were used origin software to analyze. Universal mechanical testing machine and Jane suspension combined impact tester were employed to test tensile, bending and impact strength of jute/TPU composites. Results were showed that four kinds of composites had excellent sound insulation properties. And the jute/TPU composite was the most optimal. Under the conditions of thickness in 6 mm and frequency at 6300Hz, transmission loss of jute/TPU composites was up to 30 dB and it had excellent mechanical properties.
