| description | The fluctuation of petroleum prices, fast depletion of fossil resources and environmental problems are caused by polymer derived from petroleum or natural gas due to its non-renewable and non-biodegradable properties. Recently, the industry has emphasised designing sustainable biocomposite using eco-friendly, renewable, biodegradable and low energy consumption during the manufacturing process. This target can be obtained by producing a mycelium-based composite that uses the fungal mycelium matrix to bind composite material. Agricultural waste such as lignocellulosic biomass has a great potential to be converted into the mycelium-based composite. Fungal mycelia act as a natural adhesive or binder that binds together all particles of lignocellulosic biomass during fungal colonisation. The mycelium growing phenomenon is manipulated to produce the mycelium-based composite. Therefore, the selection of suitable fungi and type of lignocellulosic biomass is essential for good mycelial network development. This will pave the way for the mycelium-based composite from lignocellulosic biomass for its use in various applications. |
