Characteristics and Advantages
- Metamaterial-based lightweight sound insulators achieve the insulation performance beyond
Mass Low.
- Light weight up to 85%-off can be achieved while maintaining the insulation performance (Figure 1).
- Insulation frequency is controllable, and especially applied to the frequency region under 1 kHz.
- Our simple metamaterial structure is suitable for mass production (Figure 2).
