Biomimetics, Volume 7, Issue 2

June 2022 - 50 articles

Cover Story: In recent years, the exciting characteristics of filamentous fungi have not gone unnoticed in the context of biodegradable materials, providing a low-cost and environmentally sustainable solution compared to the production and life cycle of petroleum-based materials. Due to the wide variety of reinforcement particles, mycelium composites can potentially be designed for specific functions and applications, such as fire resistance and mechanical improvement. The objectives of this work are to first determine whether mycelium materials reinforced with montmorillonite nanoclay can be produced given its inorganic nature, and then to study the influence of these nanoparticles on material properties. Nanoclay mycelium materials are evaluated in terms of morphological, chemical, and mechanical properties. View this paper
