Dried Paddy Straw Fibers as an Acoustic Absorber: A Preliminary Study

The use of synthetic materials as acoustic absorbers is still applied extensively in building industry. These non-biodegradable materials do not only cause pollution to the environment, but also contribute significantly in increasing the CO2 causing the effect of global warming. Therefore re...
