In the present study, the interpenetrated polymer networks (IPN) foams of polyurethane (PU) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with different ratio of PU/PMMA (i.e. 85/15, 75/25 and 65/35) were prepared using the polymerisation process. The acoustical, damping and thermal properties of synthesised IPN foams with regard to different compositions were studied. As indicators of effective damping capability, viscoelastic parameters including loss factor (tan ), glass transition temperature (T-g) and effective damping interval (tan delta > 0.3) were also determined. The results show that the T-g shifted to higher temperature ranges, and the damping temperature range (tan delta > 0.3) increased when the IPN was formed. The sound absorption coefficient results show that because of the formation of IPN, the sound-absorbing capacity of prepared samples increased at a certain frequency, and the resonance frequency shifted to lower frequencies by increasing the PMMA content in IPN foams.
