Development of bio-metamaterial with optimized thermal and acoustic properties KU Leuven
Growing environmental concerns have motivated researchers to find alternatives to traditional synthetic or polymer-based materials. A group of materials that have gained recent interest are mycelium-based foams and composites, due to their sustainable nature and application potential. Mycelium results from the vegetative growth of filamentous fungi, binding (waste) organic matter through a network of hyphal micro-filaments in a natural ...
