Microstructure-Driven Hygrothermal Behavior of Mycelium-Based Composites for Bio-Based Insulation

Microstructure-Driven Hygrothermal Behavior of Mycelium-Based Composites for Bio-Based Insulation

This study investigates the coupled hygrothermal behavior of mycelium-based composites (MBCs) as a function of their microstructural organization, governed by fungal species, substrate type, additive incorporation, and treatment method. Eleven composite formulations were selected and characterized u...
