Part of the book series: Lecture Notes on Multidisciplinary Industrial Engineering ((LNMUINEN))

Abstract

Natural fibre-based materials and their composites in recent times are gaining much relevance for acoustical applications. This is primarily because their sound absorption properties are very much closer to existing commercial synthetic materials available in the market. And secondarily, due to an added advantage like lower cost, better availability, faster decomposition, lesser carbon emission during manufacturing and unique thermal properties on burning when compared to synthetic- or polymer-based absorption materials. Further, the mechanical properties of these materials are also found to be good and can be considered for design and development of structures for practical interior acoustical applications. Thus, researchers are considering natural fibre-based materials as the potential materials for replacing existing commercial acoustical materials for ensuring greener and safer environmental conditions for future generations.
