Polyurethane (PU) foams are versatile in automotive applications for sound absorption, due to their superior acoustic-absorbing properties, vibration damping and robustness, and seat cushioning products due to their easiness of manufacturing process and cost-effectiveness. In recent studies, micro- and nano-particles were used to improve sound absorption efficiency, these fillers help to form interconnected pore structures in the foam matrix, and this interconnection of pores is advantageous in dissipating heat generated from wave friction with the air. Some of the micro- and nano-particles used are natural fibers (like cellulose, fir, palm), silica, clay, graphene and derivatives, zeolite, and others. This review is an overview of recent advances in the incorporation of fillers in PU foams and the influence they have on the sound absorption capacity of the foams. We used the systematic review methodology to compile recent studies in this area, using some search filters such as keywords and year of publication. The results found will be presented throughout the article with a discussion of the main points.
