Plastic is widely used all over the world and its production has been increasing continuously in recent years. But plastic presents significant problems about its end-of-life given its important environmental impact. These problems impose recycling policies which provide for the collection and recycling of plastic materials. In this work, the acoustic properties of a recycled polyethylene terephthalate-based material were analyzed. The material showed good sound-absorbing characteristics, especially at high frequencies. In addition, a numerical model based on the Gaussian regression was developed to simulate the sound absorption coefficient of the material. The model returned an R-Squared value of 0.97 demonstrating excellent performance.

Abstract
Plastic is widely used all over the world and its production has been increasing continuously in recent years. But plastic presents significant problems about its end-of-life given its important environmental impact. These problems impose recycling policies which provide for the collection and recycling of plastic materials. In this work, the acoustic properties of a recycled polyethylene terephthalate-based material were analyzed. The material showed good sound-absorbing characteristics, especially at high frequencies. In addition, a numerical model based on the Gaussian regression was developed to simulate the sound absorption coefficient of the material. The model returned an R-Squared value of 0.97 demonstrating excellent performance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
