Polyurethane foams with a hybrid structure between closed cell and open cell were fabricated and fully characterized. Sound absorption measurements were carried out in order to assess their acoustic performance at different frequency ranges. The cellular structure of these systems was studied in detail by defining some novel structural parameters that characterize the cell wall openings such as the average surface of holes (Sh), the number of holes (h), and the area percentage thereof (%HCW). Therefore, these parameters allow to analyze quantitatively the effect of different structural factors on the acoustic absorption performance. It has been found that the parameters under study have a remarkable influence on the normalized acoustic absorption coefficient at different frequency ranges. In particular, it has been demonstrated that increasing the surface of the holes and the percentage of holes in the cell walls allows increasing the acoustic absorption of these types of foams, a promising statement for developing highly efficient acoustic insulators. Additionally, we could determine that a suitable minimum value of hole surface to reach the highest sound dissipation for these samples exists.
