An experimental study on production opportunities of biocomposite by using fungal mycelium

Due to the adaptability, durability, and affordability of synthetic polymers, their usage has been increasing in global industry. These petroleum-based polymers remain intact nature for many years after they expire cannot be included natural recycling network any way. Producing using fossil resources increasingly day by threatens existing affects circular economy negatively. Considering various negative effects on environment, biopolymers could seen as a strong alternative; which is polymer group formed living organisms such plants, animals, microorganisms. Ecological, low-emission, recyclable open up new broad range topics field. Composite materials created with these biopolymer that act adhesives; have different developing areas applications packaging industry, textile, furniture, industrial design sectors, architectural designs, structural insulation materials. Fungal mycelium, biopolymer, consists fibrous filaments called hyphae, can defined elongated cells, mainly composed chitin, glucan, proteins. The ability fungal mycelium digest grow through organic matter makes it possible produce biocomposites from mycelium. Mycelium-based composites are mixed forming an interpenetrating three-dimensional filamentous binds raw material material, completing growth period, stopped heat, thus offering alternating fabrication paradigm based In this study, firstly, was tried find most efficient ratio among mixing ratios genus Pleurotus Ostreatus same Afterward, aimed investigate mechanical physical properties experimental studies, especially production process, mycelium-based determining proportions.
