摘要

Noise pollution has become a significant environmental issue that negatively impacts human health and quality of life. Consequently, the development of sound-absorbing materials for effective noise control has garnered considerable attention. In this study, grain husk/polyurethane (GH/PU) composites were synthesized using a one-step chemical foaming method. Further, the effect of GH addition on their acoustic properties was investigated from a microscopic perspective. An orthogonal test method was then employed to determine the optimal composition of GH/PU (evaluated by the average sound absorption coefficient in 50-6300 Hz), which reached a maximum average value of 0.735. Simultaneously, the mechanical properties and damping properties of GH/PU were characterized: The maximum compression strength and tensile strength are 2.31 kPa and 232 kPa, and the damping loss factor reached a maximum of 0.712 at 10% GH content. Range analysis revealed that the GH addition amount, GH particle size, and foaming agent addition amount were the primary factors influencing the sound absorption performance. Next, a regression model (R2 = 0.8801) was established to assess the impact of these factors on the acoustic properties. Finally, single-factor tests were conducted on the primary control factors to comprehensively examine the potential influence of each factor on the sound absorption performance of GH/PU composites. Overall, the findings of this study offer valuable insights into optimizing the performance of composite acoustic materials and present a novel approach for the effective utilization of agricultural waste.
