De nouveaux matériaux contre les nuisances sonores

Solutions isolantes ultra-efficaces et d’épaisseur très fine, les métamatériaux acoustiques développés par une équipe de chercheurs de FEMTO-ST promettent de s’affranchir du bruit et des nuisances sonores. Le projet est accompagné par le programme de prématuration du CNRS.

En effet, Les travaux de recherche menés par l’équipe d’Abdelkrim KHELIF ont permis la mise au point d’une nouvelle technologie de métamatériaux acoustiques, capable de rendre n’importe quel matériau solide ultra-efficace en terme d’isolation du bruit et des nuisances sonores. D’une épaisseur très fine, ces métamatériaux sont néanmoins d’une efficacité redoutable pour isoler des basses fréquences grâce à la génération de larges bandes fréquentielles où la propagation des ondes est interdite. L’innovation a fait l’objet de deux brevets.
Dans le cadre de la semaine du son, direction la salle sourde du laboratoire située dans les locaux de l'IUT où Aliyasin El Ayouch et Youssef Tejda testent leur invention avant le lancement de leur start-up.
