Effects of Incorporating Ionic Crosslinking on 3D Printing of Biomass–Fungi Composite Materials

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an improved method for 3D printing with fungal composite materials made from agricultural waste and mushroom mycelium. By adding sodium alginate (a seaweed-derived thickener) and treating the printed objects with a calcium salt solution, they significantly improved the structural integrity and precision of the printed parts. This technique addresses a major challenge in the field where printed objects would shrink and warp after printing, making it possible to create complex shapes from sustainable, biodegradable materials.

Evaluation of Selected Fire Properties of Recycled Particleboards

mycolabadmin

This research examines how different types of wood used to make particleboards affect their ability to resist fire. Scientists tested boards made from fresh wood, decayed wood, and recycled wood materials by exposing them to intense heat. They found that boards made from fresh, minimally processed wood catch fire more slowly and burn more slowly than boards made from recycled materials, though recycled boards are more sustainable.

A Comprehensive Review on Studying and Developing Guidelines to Standardize the Inspection of Properties and Production Methods for Mycelium-Bound Composites in Bio-Based Building Material Applications

mycolabadmin

This review examines mycelium-based composites, which are innovative building materials made from fungal networks grown on agricultural waste. These eco-friendly materials are biodegradable and use less energy to produce than traditional construction materials. The authors analyze current testing methods and propose standardized production guidelines to ensure consistent quality, helping make these sustainable materials more reliable for widespread use in buildings and construction.
