A comparative study of the effect of polyurethane nanofiber and powders filler on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber and glass fiber composites

Thermal and acoustic characterization of nanofibrous polymeric structures for insulation applications

“…The remarkable qualities of polyurethane (PU) nanofibers have led to a wide range of engineering applications [1]. PU nanofibers are useful in the important areas such as acoustic panel insulation in architectural design, automotive industry for interior noise control, reinforced materials for mechanical engineering, civil engineering for vibration dampening, textile engineering for advanced fabrics, and biomedical engineering for drug delivery systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. PU nanofibers contribute to the development of lightweight and effective materials for noise control in car interiors, serve as efficient sound absorbers in architectural designs to enhance acoustical comfort in buildings, and are employed in civil engineering projects to reduce noise and decrease vibrations since they absorb sound [2,3,6].…”

“…PU nanofibers contribute to the development of lightweight and effective materials for noise control in car interiors, serve as efficient sound absorbers in architectural designs to enhance acoustical comfort in buildings, and are employed in civil engineering projects to reduce noise and decrease vibrations since they absorb sound [2,3,6]. Moreover, composites can be improved mechanically by adding PU nanofibers, which makes them appropriate for a range of mechanical engineering uses [5]. PU nanofibers are also used in drug delivery systems in biomedical applications due to their controlled release capabilities [8].…”
