Physico-Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Mycelium-Based Biocomposites: A Review

Physico-Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Mycelium-Based Biocomposites: A Review

Reducing the use of non-renewable resources is a key strategy of a circular economy. Mycelium-based foams and sandwich composites are an emerging category of biocomposites relying on the valorization of lignocellulosic wastes and the natural growth of the living fungal organism. While growing, the f...
