Perspectives of Insulating Biodegradable Composites Derived from Agricultural Lignocellulosic Biomass and Fungal Mycelium: A Comprehensive Study of Thermal Conductivity and Density Characteristics

Original language description

The research suggests production method of insulating composites created from lignocellulosic agricultural biomass with fungal mycelium as a binder agent and deeperinvestigates their thermophysical properties. Particularly, the samples were meticulously evaluated for density and thermal conductivity. The function was built on the suggested by the authors the thermal conductivity-weight ratio indicator. The metric was initially introduced to assess the correlation between these parameters and was also applied to qualitatively evaluate the biocomposite among other commonly used natural insulations. An applied polynomial trend analysis indicated that the most effective densities for the wheat, hemp, and flax which are 60, 85, 26 and 105 kg·m-3 respectively. It was determined that the optimal density for wheat and hemp composites corresponds to values of 0.28 and 0.20 W−1·kg−1·m4·K of the coefficient, respectively. These values are revealed better than in other common natural insulating materials, such as cork, cotton stalks, hempcrete, timber etc.. As a result, the proposed insulating material may offer numerous opportunities for application in industrial settings of civil engineering.
