Utilizing Waste Cotton/Pigeon Pea Stalk Fibers Composites for Enhanced Sound Absorption and Insulation in Automotive Interiors
ABSTRACTThis study investigates the synthesis and characterization of composite materials, pigeon pea stem, and cotton fibers blended in different ratios such as 100/0, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 30/70, and 0/100. These composite materials were produced using a compression molding technique. According to...

| description | ABSTRACTThis study investigates the synthesis and characterization of composite materials, pigeon pea stem, and cotton fibers blended in different ratios such as 100/0, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 30/70, and 0/100. These composite materials were produced using a compression molding technique. According to ASTM standards, the acoustics, thermal conductivity, and physical characteristics of the composite samples were tested to assess their qualities. The impedance tube method detailed in ASTM E1050 was used to determine the sound absorption coefficients (SAC) for acoustics. The SAC values were measured at six frequencies such as 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. The results showed that composite samples made from waste cotton and pigeon pea demonstrated sound absorption values of greater than 80%. Superior sound insulation and absorption, moisture absorption, fiber properties have also been demonstrated by waste composites. Especially, the waste cotton/pea stalk waste fiber composites achieved over 75% sound absorption, while the waste 28% composites performed well in terms of sound absorption, moisture absorption, and fiber properties. Even in humid conditions, the composite samples constructed from used cotton and pigeon pea stalks demonstrated good moisture resistance without reducing their insulating qualities. Soundproofing barriers are composite layers of foam or pigeon pea/cotton. |
