12 Claims

1. A damping system, comprising:

an adhesive component comprising a backing and an adherent on at least one side of the backing, the adherent being configured to adhere to a substrate; and

a plurality of a first type of three-dimensional particles dispersed within the adherent and a plurality of a second type of three-dimensional particles dispersed within the backing, the particles being physically displaced in response to an applied energy;

wherein:

at least one of the first type of three-dimensional particles and the second type of three-dimensional particles has a three-dimensional structure of a spheroidal molecule or a geodesic dome;

the first type of three-dimensional particles and the second type of three-dimensional particles are physically displaced by compressing from a natural state in response to the applied energy and subsequently expanding to the natural state; and

the applied energy is selected from the group consisting of a sound wave, an electromagnetic wave, a seismic wave, a change in temperature, a change in pressure, and a physical impact.
