Mycelium-based composite: a way forward for renewable material

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...
