An understanding of both the areas of materials science and acoustics is necessary to successfully develop materials for acoustic absorption applications (code 3). This paper investigates the acoustic absorption behavior Hollow Carbon Nanospheres (HCNSs). Sound absorber sample from HCNSs are fabricated and their acoustic properties are investigated through experiment. Tests were conducted using an impedance tube to measure the acoustic absorption coefficient of the HCNSs. Good acoustic absorption performance is observed at 4500−6500 Hz with average absorption coefficient of 31% which is comparable with other nanomaterial absorbers such as CNTs. The outcomes of this investigation highlight the potential of the HCNSs for use as light-weight acoustic absorbers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
