Abstract: The provided articles, assemblies, and methods use a non-woven fibrous web (50) having one or more layers (60) that are densified in situ to provide a layer that is densified relative to one or more adjacent layers, collectively within a unitary non-woven construction. The non-woven web (50) can be made from fibers having a composition and/or structure that resist shrinkage induced by polymer crystallization when subjected to high temperatures. Advantageously, the provided non-woven webs (50) can be molded to form a three-dimensional shaped article that displays dimensional stability.

Abstract: Provided are acoustic articles having a porous layer (102,104,106) placed in contact with a heterogeneous filler comprising porous carbon and having an average surface area of from 0.1 m2/g to 10,000 m2/g. The acoustic articles can have a flow resistance of from 10 MKS Rayls to 5000 MKS Rayls. Optionally, the porous layer includes a non-woven fibrous layer or a perforated film having a plurality of apertures with an average narrowest diameter of from 30 micrometers to 5000 micrometers. The heterogeneous filler can enhance low frequency performance without significantly compromising high frequency performance, thickness or weight.
