Table 2 Categorization of handling stability of the fabricated composites
From: Quantification of fungal biomass in mycelium composites made from diverse biogenic side streams
Handling stability | Composite materials |
|---|---|
Stable material with firm appearance (4) | GSAP, GSSBG67, TVSBP |
Stable material with a thinner mycelium layer on the bottom (3) | GSB, GSGW, GSSBG80 |
Material is fragile (poor adhesion inside); after cutting, substrate particles may fall out (2) | GSCF, GSDBS, GSPS, TVB, TVGW, TVSBG67 |
Severe cracks develop when cut, which can make the material fall into pieces (1) | PPB, PPPS, TVPS, TVSBG80 |
Weak adhesion leads to crumbling as soon as the material is demolded (0) | GSSBP, PPGW, PPSBGs, PPSBP |
