This work presents the hygroscopic and thermal properties of a material developed from cornstalk and mycelium. The materials were produced using strains of macromycete fungi Trametes elegans as a natural binder for application as thermal isolation. The results shown are for the equilibrium moisture content on a wet basis and on a dry basis, moisture absorption in different relative humidity environments and thermal conductivity. The results obtained show that the hygrothermal properties of this material make it suitable as a thermal insulator, having a thermal conductivity value of 0.043 W/(m K) and absorbing less than 9% humidity in environments of up to 85% relative humidity.

基于Trametes elegans菌丝体的绝缘材料的开发及其湿热性能研究

这项工作展示了一种由玉米杆和菌丝体开发的材料的吸湿和热性能。这些材料是使用大型真菌Trametes elegans菌株生产的，作为天然粘合剂，用于隔热应用。显示的结果是湿基和干基的平衡水分含量、不同相对湿度环境中的吸湿性和热导率。获得的结果表明，这种材料的湿热特性使其适合作为热绝缘体，导热系数值为 0.043 W/(m·K)，在相对湿度高达 85% 的环境中吸收的湿度小于 9%。
