Mushroom Based Sustainable Biopolymer Composites

Synthetic polymers remain intact in nature for many years after the expire and cannot be included in the natural recycling material in anywhere. Fossil resource-based polymer manufacture is endangering current supplies and has a daily detrimental impact on the circular economy. The harmful consequences of polymers on the environment, biopolymers a class of polymers created by living organisms like plants, animals, and microalgae might be a great substitute. Because of biopolymers that are recyclable, low-emission, or environmentally friendly, a wide range of new subjects are emerging in this field. There are several industries where composite materials based on these biopolymers which function as natural adhesives find use, including the packaging, textile, furniture, and industrial design sectors, as well as architectural and structural insulation design. This composite can replace traditional building materials, which are expensive, nonbiodegradable, and have significant emissions. It also exhibits exceptional mechanical strength, hydrophobic qualities, and thermal stability. The kind of substrate and strain, the length of incubation, and the method of manufacturing are some of the variables influencing the composite's physicochemical properties.
