Abstract:
I. Chapter I: Introduction
a. Background of the Study
a. Method of Research
Measurement of sound absorbing ability of bamboos treated with NaOH with varied
days of treatments through Sound Testing
Since subsequent researches tackles about characteristics of bamboo fibers soaked
in NaOH solution through its mechanical properties, and a research which states as
bamboo fibers as a good acoustic material, the research will focus on the sound
testing of bamboo panel models on sound with different sets as A (1- day soaking), B
(2- day soaking), C (3- days soaking), D (4 days soaking) and E (5 days soaking) and
compare each sets based on sound testing.
Paradigm
Freshly cut “Kawayang Tinik” was used for the research soaked in 10% NaOH
Solution (2tbsp, 30grams of NaOH in 70ml distilled water) in one liter of water. The
bamboo poles were cut into sticks measuring approximately 15 centimeters with a
maximum thickness of 0.3 milimeters.
The figures above are the dried bamboos soaked with NaOH with varying
days. It can be observed that due to the NaOH treatment, “pagbubuko” or results to
more fibers produced the more time it is soaked with NaOH.
