Oxidation treatment on wood cell walls affects gas permeability and sound absorption capacity

Haradhan Kolya et al.

Summary: This research aimed to study the efficacy of oxidation in wood cell walls by ammonium persulfate solution and its effects on sound absorption coefficients and gas permeability in Oak wood. The oxidation treatment changed the chemical compositions of wood, boosting wood porosity and gas permeability. It significantly improved the average sound absorption coefficient at different frequency ranges and could be helpful for research and production of wood-based sound absorption materials to manage the acoustic housing environment.

Hierarchical pore structure based on cellulose nanofiber/melamine composite foam with enhanced sound absorption performance

Lu Shen et al.

Summary: In this study, cellulose nanofiber and melamine foam were combined for the first time using an environmentally friendly method to create a hierarchical pore structure with both macropores and mesopores. The enhanced multiple reflections and micro-vibration of the sound waves resulted in a significant improvement in sound absorption performance. This work is expected to inspire the design and preparation of high-performance sound absorption materials.

Effective changes in cellulose cell walls, gas permeability and sound absorption capability of Cocos nucifera (palmwood) by steam explosion

Haradhan Kolya et al.

Summary: Steam explosion treatment significantly increases the air permeability and sound absorption capability of palmwood, mainly due to changes in the cell wall. The color change, air permeability, and sound absorption coefficient are correlated, indicating that low-pressure steam explosion is an effective technique to improve the acoustic properties of wood.

Transportation noise pollution and cardiovascular disease

Thomas Munzel et al.

Summary: Transportation noise pollution is recognized as a cardiovascular risk factor that can increase the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, especially ischemic heart disease. Over 1.6 million healthy life-years are lost annually in Western Europe due to traffic-related noise, with night traffic noise causing sleep fragmentation and increased oxidative stress, contributing to cardiovascular risk. This review focuses on indirect cardiovascular health effects of transportation noise, discussing epidemiological evidence, mechanistic insights, and potential mitigation strategies.

Steam exploded wood cell walls reveals improved gas permeability and sound absorption capability

Chun-Won Kang et al.

Summary: Steam explosion at low pressure can significantly improve the sound absorption performance of wood, with different effects on different tree species, and resulting in blackening of the wood. The study suggests that steam explosion can be used to manufacture wood-based sound absorption boards.

Sound absorption characteristics of three species (binuang, balsa and paulownia) of low density hardwood

Eun-Suk Jang et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing porosity improved gas permeability and sound absorption performance of the wood. Paulownia, however, had poor sound absorption performance due to most of its vessels being blocked by tyloses. It was also observed that the sound absorption coefficient of the woods increased as the size of air cavities between specimens and tube walls increased at low frequencies.

Polyvinyl acetate/reduced graphene oxide-poly (diallyl dimethylammonium chloride) composite coated wood surface reveals improved hydrophobicity

Haradhan Kolya et al.

Summary: In this study, hydrophilic wood was modified into hydrophobic wood through simple surface coating using polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) / reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-poly (diallyl dimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The synthesized polymer composite showed improved water contact angle on various wood surfaces, indicating enhanced hydrophobic properties compared to uncoated wood and other types of coatings. This low-cost and eco-friendly approach has potential applications in various fields.

Characteristics of nanocellulose crystals from balsa and kapok fibers at different ammonium persulfate concentrations

Marwanto Marwanto et al.

Summary: This study aimed to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from balsa and kapok fibers through a direct extraction without pre-treatment using ammonium persulfate solution (APS). The results showed that the increase in APS concentration led to an increase in CNCs crystallinity and a decrease in thermal stability, with the diameter of the CNCs ranging from 1.25-11.87 nm.
