Inventor(s) include Mohan Bharathi C; Rajesh Kumar S; Vedhabhashini S D; Sudhan S; Mithun Piruthivik R; Tharun Siddharth S; and Adersh S.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The utilization of dried com straw fibers as an acoustic absorber presents an innovative and environmentally sustainable solution for enhancing sound absorption within various spaces. Acoustic absorbers play a vital role in reducing sound reflections and improving acoustic quality. This study explores the potential of dried corn straw fibers as an effective acoustic absorption material. The installation methods and configurations of the fibers are investigated to optimize their acoustic absorption capabilities. Aesthetic and sustainability considerations are addressed, highlighting the natural and renewable aspects of dried corn straw fibers.' Furthermore, fire safety measures are evaluated to ensure compliance with regulations for indoor applications. The study emphasizes the importance of proper testing and evaluation to determine The fibers practicality as acoustic absorbers. Corn straw fibers, an abundant and renewable resource, offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional acoustic materials. The findings suggest that dried com straw fibers exhibit promising potential as acoustic absorbers, particularly in specific frequency ranges. The material's unique characteristics contribute to both functional and aesthetic benefits, aligning with sustainable design principles. However, challenges such as fiber degradation and fire resistance need to be,carefully addressed."
