Abstract

Mycelium composites offer a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. Combining mycelium with hemp wood, a strong, lightweight and fire resistant material can be produced. This composite material is environmentally friendly, utilizing agricultural waste and reducing the carbon footprint. The versatility of mycelium-based composites allows for a wide range of applications, from small objects to construction materials. Biopex has developed a biocomposite pipe distribution panel using mycelium and hemp wood in Turkey that has successfully passed all necessary tests, confirming its quality and potential for wider use. This article describes Biopex composite materials and other examples of composite materials produced around the world.

Özet

Miselyum kompozitleri, geleneksel inşaat malzemelerine sürdürülebilir bir alternatif sunar. Miselyumu kenevir odunu ile birleştirerek güçlü, hafif ve yangına dayanıklı bir malzeme yapılabilir. Bu kompozit malzeme çevre dostu olup, tarımsal atıklardan faydalanmakta ve karbon ayak izini azaltmaktadır. Miselyum bazlı kompozitlerin çok yönlülüğü, küçük nesnelerden inşaat malzemelerine kadar çok çeşitli uygulamalara olanak tanır. Biopex, Türkiye'de miselyum ve kenevir odunu kullanılarak gerekli tüm testlerden başarıyla geçen, kalitesini ve daha geniş kullanım potansiyelini teyit eden bir biyokompozit boru dağıtım paneli geliştirdi. Bu makalede Biopex kompozit malzemeler ve dünyada üretilen diğer kompozit malzeme örnekleri açıklanmıştır.
