Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Influence of Higher Concentrations of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes on the Tensile and Flexural Performance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
The addition of MWCNTs enhanced the tensile and flexural behavior of GFRP composites. Maximum strength and stiffness were obtained at 3 wt% MWCNTs, whereas intermediate contents showed reduced performance due to poor dispersion. The results confirm that uniform nanotube dispersion is essential for achieving reliable mechanical performance in GFRP ...
