Preparation and Low Frequency Sound Absorption Properties of Silicate Composite Material

Abstract:

The silicate based low frequency sound absorption composite material was prepared with powdery polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam as filler. The effects of the amounts of PMI and pore-forming agent, and water-cement ratio on sound absorption properties of composite material were researched. Sound absorption coefficient was characterized by standing wave tube, and micro structure of composite material was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. The results show that: when the amounts of PMI and pore-forming agent are 2.5wt% and 0.04wt%, respectively, and water cement ratio is 0.55, the average value of the absorption coefficient on the sound （≤1000Hz）can up to 0.35. Resonating sound absorption structure formed by micro pore of the silicate and thin wall cavity of PMI in composite materials is beneficial to high efficiency absorption to low frequency sound.
