Zusammenfassung:A mycotextile comprising a support scaffold layer and a first crosslinked mycelium layer extending adjacent to a first side of the support scaffold layer, and a second crosslinked mycelium layer extending adjacent to a second side of the support scaffold layer; and a plurality of nanoparticles within the first and second crosslinked mycelium layers, the nanoparticles are functionalized to crosslink chitin/chitosan within hyphae of the first crosslinked mycelium layer and the second crosslinked mycelium layer. An external humidity barrier can be applied on the mycotextile (biopolymer, such as zein protein pea protein or wax and plasticizer). The mycotextile shows improved tensile strength, elongation, tear strength.
