Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced 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

Comparison of interlaminar and interfacial shear strength with recycled carbon fiber
, 2023 Testing the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of composites using a short beam shear (SBS) test takes time. Micro-scale interfacial shear strength values (IFSS) need to be scaled back to the macro-level if a more reliable picture of the composite behavior on the right scale is desired.
