“…A common multilayer alternative used for reducing engine noise is made of a fibrous felt sandwiched between two layers of heat-resistant resin-impregnated nonwoven [69]. A blended sisal-kenaf composite with an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene matrix has been recently suggested for potential use for automotive applications [73].…”

Eco-materials employed to reduce noise are used either independently or as components of complex composite materials, which are a growing area of research. These eco-materials have the potential to be used as high-performance sound-absorbing noise isolators in a number of applications in areas such as transportation, architectural, industrial, and construction. Public concern about the environmental impact of transportation is leading to reduced fuel consumption and the use of recycled materials. These are clearly related to the reduction of weight, extending durable years. Currently, the concept of "green" building

“…Asdrubali et al [ 8 ] state that the performance of plant fibres is similar to that of synthetic fibres. As a replacement for acoustic materials, various studies have been carried out with particleboards using different types of plant waste [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], including rice stalks [ 15 , 16 ], coconut [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], kenaf [ 24 , 25 , 26 ], bamboo [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], sisal [ 18 , 26 , 30 ], luffa [ 31 ], sugarcane [ 32 ], jute with latex [ 33 ], oil palm [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], Arenga pinnata [ 40 , 41 ], date palm [ 23 , 42 ] and Washingtonia palm [ 43 ].…”

Traditionally, plant fibres have been used as a raw material for manufacturing construction materials; however, in the last century, they have been replaced by new mineral and synthetic materials with manufacturing processes that consume a large amount of energy. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanical, physical and acoustic properties of panels made from giant reed residues. The article focuses on evaluating the acoustic absorption of the boards for use in buildings. The materials used were reed particles and urea–formaldehyde was used as an adhesive. The panels were produced with three particle sizes and the influence that this parameter had on the properties of the board was evaluated. To determine the absorption coefficient, samples were tested at frequencies ranging from 50 to 6300 Hz. The results showed that the boards had a medium absorption coefficient for the low and high frequency range, with significant differences depending on the particle size. The boards with 2–4 mm particles could be classified as Class D sound absorbers, while boards with particle sizes of 0.25–1 mm showed the greatest sound transmission loss. Unlike the acoustic properties, the smaller the particle size used, the better the mechanical properties of the boards. The results showed that this may be an appropriate sound insulation material for commercial use.

“…The natural fiber-based composites are the most widely used as poroelastic materials in the automotive industry sector. In addition to their higher specific mechanical properties, natural composites can effectively reduce the level of acoustic noise inside the vehicle cabin, similar to synthetic polyurethane foam and commercial rock wool fibers [6][7][8]. The broad field of application of natural composites can be attributed to the properties of natural fibers, which are characterized by low weight, affordable cost, easy processing, flexibility, biodegradability, and environmentally friendly fibers.…”

Natural composites can be fabricated through reinforcing either synthetic or bio-based polymers with hydrophilic natural fibers. Ultimate moisture absorption resistance at the fiber–matrix interface can be achieved when hydrophilic natural fibers are used to reinforce biopolymers due to the high degree of compatibility between them. However, the cost of biopolymers is several times higher than that of their synthetic counterparts, which hinders their dissemination in various industries. In order to produce economically feasible natural composites, synthetic resins are frequently reinforced with hydrophilic fibers, which increases the incompatibility issues such as the creation of voids and delamination at fiber–matrix interfaces. Therefore, applying chemical and/or physical treatments to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks is of primary importance. However, it is demonstrated through this review study that these treatments do not guarantee a sufficient improvement of the moisture absorption properties of natural composites, and the moisture treatments should be applied under the consideration of the following parameters: (i) type of hosting matrix; (ii) type of natural fiber; (iii) loading of natural fiber; (iv) the hybridization of natural fibers with mineral/synthetic counterparts; (v) implantation of nanofillers. Complete discussion about each of these parameters is developed through this study.
