RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Nanoporous PMMA: A novel system with different acoustic properties A1 Notario Collado, Belén A1 Ballesteros Agudo, Alberto A1 Pinto Sanz, Javier A1 Rodríguez Pérez, Miguel Ángel AB The acoustic properties of closed cell nanoporous and microporous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) foams have been well characterized, showing that nanoporous PMMA exhibit a different absorption coefficient and transmission loss behavior in comparison with microporous PMMA. Experimental differences may be explained by the different wave propagation mechanism in the micro and nanoscale, which is determined by the confinement of both the gas (Knudsen regime) and the solid phases. These results place nanoporous materials as a new class of polymeric porous material with potential properties in the field of acoustics, especially in multifunctional systems requiring a certain degree of soundproofing.
