Abstract

Provided is a sound absorption sheet comprising an improved micro-resonance layer formed by means of a porous substrate and printing. The method for manufacturing a sound absorption sheet comprises the steps of: preparing a porous substrate; forming a micro-resonance layer by printing on the upper part of the porous substrate; and drying the micro-resonance layer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sound absorption sheet comprising:
a porous substrate comprising a mixture of glass fibers, pulps and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers; and
a micro-resonance layer formed by printing,
wherein each glass fiber of the glass fibers has a fiber diameter of 5 μm to 20 μm and a fiber length of 1 mm to 50 mm, and
wherein the porous substrate has an air permeability of 50 L/m 2 /s to 1200 L/m 2 /s at a pressure of 50 Pa.

2. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the micro-resonance layer comprises a plurality of sound absorption holes penetrating both surfaces thereof.

3. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the micro-resonance layer comprises at least one selected from among a vinyl chloride sol, a urethane resin, an acrylic resin, and a vinyl resin.

4. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the porous substrate further comprises at least one of cellulose fibers, or a further synthetic fiber.

5. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the porous substrate has a basis weight of 30 g/m 2 to 500 g/m 2 .

6. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the porous substrate has an average pore size of 10 μm to 60 μm.

7. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sound absorption sheet has an average sound absorption coefficient of 0.4 or more, as measured in a frequency band of 200 Hz to 2000 Hz.

8. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the sound absorption sheet has an air permeability of 50 L/m 2 /S to 1200 L/m 2 /s at a pressure of 100 Pa.

9. A method for manufacturing a sound absorption sheet, comprising:
preparing a porous substrate comprising a mixture of glass fibers, pulps and PET fibers;
forming a micro-resonance layer on top of the porous substrate by printing; and
drying the micro-resonance layer,
wherein each glass fiber of the glass fibers has a fiber diameter of 5 μm to 20 μm and a fiber length of 1 mm to 50 mm, and
wherein the porous substrate has an air permeability of 50 L/m 2 /s to 1200 L/m 2 /s at a pressure of 50 Pa.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein printing includes rotary screen printing.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the rotary screen printing comprises injecting a composition for forming the micro-resonance layer into a rotary screen roll, and the rotary screen roll comprises a micro-sound absorption screen.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the micro-sound absorption screen controls a diameter of sound absorption holes, a ratio of the sound absorption holes per unit area, or a pitch between the sound absorption holes according to frequency bands.

13. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the porous substrate comprises at least one cellulose fiber selected from the group consisting of wood fibers, cotton fibers, hemp fibers, and Rayon.

14. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the further synthetic organic fiber is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-styrene copolymer (ES), cycloolefin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polycarbonate (PC), polysulfone, polyimide (PI), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), styreneacrylonitrile (SAN), and polyurethane (PU).

15. The sound absorption sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the porous substrate comprises 40% of glass fibers, 55% of pulp and 5% of PET fibers.
