Postdoc on the acoustics of membrane materials

As part of the Membranes project, the MSC laboratory is carrying out experimental research into the acoustic properties of membrane media, i.e. media whose internal structure contains thin layers of materials that can provide an original elastic response [1]. Examples include liquid foams [2] and hydrogel foams [3]. The aim is to synthesise, test and model new acoustic materials with novel properties, for example for acoustic absorption.
