Abstract

A sound-absorbing material has a membrane having multiple piezoelectric fibers, the fiber density of the membrane is below 50 g/m2, the thickness of the membrane is below 1 mm, sound-absorbing coefficient of the membrane is larger than 0.1 at absorbing frequency at 100 Hz+/−10%, and the sound-absorbing coefficient of the membrane is over 0.05 at absorbing frequency at 800 Hz to 1000 Hz. PVDF electrospinning nanofiber membranes of the present invention are thinner and more flexible compared to conventional sound-absorbing material, the membranes in the present invention performs excellent low frequency sound absorption with very thin membrane.
