Dear all, the experimentation is still going on, we are now trying to make "cellulose pies" using yeasts to add porosity. With scarce results for now, but we're improving. I'm also developing other testers that consist in one thermoplastic net with a cellulose paste on it. In this case I used...

Man, I really appreciate your interest. I'll keep the thread updated. At the moment we need to test the process of fungal biosorption and in order to do that I'm developing a 3D printed sample tester which has to be similar to a polyurethane foam cube. We'll send the tester in Turin, to our...

Yes this is interesting, simple and easy to make as a mass production! The correct folds could make an high proportion in surface/volume too! The bones could work as well, but it would a bit harder on the production side. At the moment my team is studying the potential use of Ecovative...

This is a possible way, even if the coating process could raise up the costs. Maybe a mater-bi coated sponge-like material could work... Wood could be a good way too, but lignin is a bit difficult to decompose for the fungi, they prefer more simple substances like cellulose or amylum, and the...

Dear all, I'm a university student in charge of developing a biochemical device (reactor) for the depuration of leather factory wastewaters, this is an european project leaded by Ambiental Engineering University of Florence. Part of this device should be colonized with fungi in order to purify...

Thank you Greg!

Dear all, I'm a design student at ISIA Firenze, and I'm glad to be here with you. You may say "what the hell has to do design with physics?", well I'm asking myself the same question. Just kidding! It is very close, because a good design is also about the right choice of materials, and also...
