Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The performance of a sound insulation material is highly dependent on the technology adopted for its construction. In this study, we synthesized the hollow silica nanotubes (HSNTs) and used them as functional fillers to fabricate a sound insulation nanocomposite based on the epoxy. The sound transmission loss (STL) values of the nanocomposites were measured using a four-microphones standing wave tube. The results showed that for samples with thickness of 3 mm, the STL values of the pure epoxy resin and of nanocomposites with 3 wt% of HSNTs loading were 17 dB and 43 dB, respectively. When the thickness of the nanocomposite increased to 10 mm, the STL value increased to 57.9 dB. The improved sound insulation performances of nanocomposites have been attributed to the unique hollow structure of the hollow silica nanotubes. The mechanical properties and the thermal stability of the nanocomposites were also improved by adding HSNTs into the epoxy matrix.
