Mycelium Composite with Hierarchical Porous Structure for Thermal Management (Small 46/2023)

Thermal Insulation Mycelium Composites In article number 2302827, Jinzhen Cao and co-workers report a strategy for the scalable manufacture of highly sustainable and high-performance lightweight insulating composite via microbial metabolic biosynthesis systems. Trametes versicolor, as a living cell, reorganizes loosely distributed sawdust through multiple and advanced mycelial networks into mycelium composite with a hierarchical porous structure, including both macro- and microscale pores.
