“…Another interesting solution to improve the compatibility between nanocelullose and PP for sustainable polypropylene nanocomposites was achieved by modifying supermolecular structure and dispersing the morphological properties of the nanocellulose component under controlled enzymatic hydrolysis using cellulases from powerful manufacturers of cellulolytic system, and microscopic fungi such as Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus sp. [ 4 ].…”

Environmental contamination, extensive exploitation of fuel sources and accessibility of natural renewable resources represent the premises for the development of composite biomaterials. These materials have controlled properties, being obtained through processes operated in mild conditions with low costs, and contributing to the valorization of byproducts from agriculture and industry fields. A novel board composite including lignocelullosic substrate as wheat straws, fungal mycelium and polypropylene embedded with bacterial spores was developed and investigated in the present study. The bacterial spores embedded in polymer were found to be viable even after heat exposure, helping to increase the compatibility of polymer with hydrophilic microorganisms. Fungal based biopolymer composite was obtained after cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum macromycetes on a mixture including wheat straws and polypropylene embedded with spores from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy images showed the fungal mycelium covering the substrates with a dense network of filaments. The resulted biomaterial is safe, inert, renewable, natural, biodegradable and it can be molded in the desired shape. The fungal biocomposite presented similar compressive strength and improved thermal insulation capacity compared to polystyrene with high potential to be used as thermal insulation material for applications in construction sector.

“…BActerial SYnthesised Cellulose), które można zastosować jako zamienniki naczyń krwionośnych. Włókna nanocelulozy z powodzeniem mogą zostać również zastosowane w połączeniu z powszechnie stosowanymi polimerami, jako przyjazne środowisku biokompozyty, co jest istotnie rozwijanym tematem przez liczne zespoły badawcze w kraju [34][35][36][37], jak i zagraniczne [38][39][40][41]. Materiały celulozowo-polimerowe charakteryzują się interesującymi zaletami, tj.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11] However, due to their moisture-loving nature, poor resistivity against chemicals, and poor adhesion with hydrophobic matrices, their role has been limited. [12][13][14] Thus, it is of great importance to modify PF surfaces by employing diverse physical and chemical methods to overcome their intrinsic downsides and successfully utilize these cellulosic materials in various applications 15,16 (Fig. 1).…”
