Mycelium-Based Composites Using Minimally Processed Industrial Hemp Biomass: Impact of Species and Feedstock Ratio on Mechanical Performance Compared to Polystyrene Packaging (2026)

Mycelium-based composites (MBCs\) are formed from lignocellulosic substrates and biopolymer matrices derived from fungal mycelium. Due to their low fossil energy demand and biodegradability, MBCs represent a versatile and sustainable material suitable for a range of applications, with increasing int
