Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. The present invention also relates to use of a crosslinking agent in making a non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. In addition, the present invention relates to use of mixing in making a non-woven material from mycelium produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture. The present invention relates also to a mycelium based non-woven material, wherein the mycelium is produced in a stirred submerged liquid culture.

Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing graphene foam structures by assembling graphene or graphene oxide in a three-dimensional structure, wherein biomolecular surface active agents are used as a template in a water-based foam. The graphene foam structures produced by the method of the invention find industrial application for example in sensing and material applications.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the covalent attachment of lignin to cellulose in aqueous solutions, which process is characterized by preparing an aqueous mixture of lignin particles modified with tall oil fatty acids (TOFA), and reacting these TOFA-modified lignin particles with cellulose particles. The obtained modified cellulose particles are biodegradable, and have antimicrobial properties, whereby they are suitable for use in antibacterial textile surfaces (sportswear, medical textiles), tissue adhesives and as porous carriers in drug delivery. Further, the material is useful in high-volume products, such as adhesives and dispersants.
