  Abstract

Burgeoning challenges related to utilization of various biomass wastes is attracting more attention by the development of several functional materials. The designing of diff erent fl exible quieter materials in most of the mechanical and vibrational structural components has put interest in the reduction of noise from diff erent machinery parts. The biomass waste based lightweight and highly effi cient sound absorbing material has many signifi cant physical properties compared to the synthetic one. The present work includes synthesis along with acoustic performance analysis of epoxy blended rattan fi ber reinforced composites. The analysis showed that the fabricated porous material with sound absorption coeffi cient of 0.97 can be classifi ed into Class-A type material as per ASTMC423-17 standard. The transmission loss of the fabricated composite rises with fi ber composition from 20.3 to 56.9 dB, confi rming the non-linear behavior of the generated sound. The unique morphological features supported by reorientation of diff erent functional groups of the cellulosic components facilitate the sound absorption. The biodegradability of the composite around 69% is well supported by thermogravimetric analysis and decrease of thermal conductivity from 0.077 to 0.014W/m.K with increase in fi ber content executes good thermal insulating properties. The hardness value of the composite has been observed to be maximum with 20 wt% of the fi ber followed by reducing trend with an increase of wt%.
