| description | Recently known as an alternative to expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), mycelium-based biofoam
(MBF) has been introduced as a new technology foam. The desired traits of MBF are currently
being studied by exploring various factors that can influence the end-product. Following preliminary
screening, two local fungi, Phanerochaete concrescens isolate LYN-UPM S1 and Perenniporia
subtephropora isolate LYN-UPM S9, were selected based on their positive outcomes.
These fungi, along with two other positive controls were cultivated on local biomass to develop
MBF. The present study applied several analytical techniques to analyse and validate the attributes
of the local MBF, including physical, chemical, and mechanical analyses. Perenniporia
subtephropora isolate LYN-UPM S9 displayed the best results as MBF by exhibiting hydrophobic
properties with 93◦ of contact angle, and 0.23 kJ/m2 impact strength. Subsequently, the characteristics
of MBF and EPS have been differentiated in this study. This study not only advances the
understanding of MBF characteristics but also paves the way for further exploration into optimizing
mycelium-based materials for sustainable packaging solutions. Future research should
focus on scaling up production, improving performance, and evaluating the environmental
impact of MBF in practical applications. |
