Mechanical characteristics of bacterial cellulose-reinforced mycelium composite materials

Abstract Background While mycelium is considered a promising alternative for fossil-based resins in lignocellulosic materials, the mechanical properties of mycelium composite materials remain suboptimal, among other reasons due to the weak internal bonds between the hyphae and the natural fibres. A...
