Abstract

This paper presents an investigation conducted on the development of banana fiber-reinforced paper pulp biocomposites. The investigations focus on parameters, such as fiber length, fiber volume fraction, and composite thickness, those affect the properties of the biocomposites. Regression models, using Box and Behnken experimental design, have been developed to predict acoustic performance of the biocomposite along with the analysis of these parameters. The correlation coefficient between observed and predicted values was found to be 0.95. The maximum Noise Reduction Coefficient is observed (through experimental) in the bulk density of 154 kg/m3 at frequency ranges between 250 Hz and 4000 Hz with the average value of 0.55.
