  • SOUND DAMPENED FLOORING WITH IMPROVED ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20240052645
    Abstract: A method of preparing sound dampened flooring comprises providing a flooring substrate, applying a coating of a liquid acrylic sound damping composition to a surface of the flooring substrate, drying the coating, and optionally, forming one or more additional layers on the coating. A sound dampened flooring is also disclosed.

  • POLYMER-BASED FILM WITH BALANCED PROPERTIES
    Publication number: 20220008893
    Abstract: A film includes 20.0 weight percent to 69.5 weight percent of a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) based polymer. The LLDPE having a high density fraction (HDF) from 3.0% to 8.0%, an I10/I2 ratio from 5.5 to 6.9, and a short chain branching distribution (SCBD) of less than or equal to 8.0° C. The film also includes 0.0 weight percent to 10.0 weight percent low density polyethylene (LDPE) based polymer, and 30.0 weight percent to 70.0 weight percent pore former.

  • Origami sonic barrier for traffic noise mitigation
    Patent number: 11136734
    Abstract: A sound barrier system for use in mitigating noise having an origami sheet or origami-inspired mechanism that can use folding to change configuration and lattice topology; and a plurality of cylindrical inclusions disposed on top of the origami sheet. The plurality of cylindrical inclusions being periodically arranged such that folding kinematics of the origami sheet induces reconfiguration of the periodicity of the plurality of cylindrical inclusions and associated wave blocking of the noise.
