Yeni Nesil Yeşil Yapı Malzemesi Olarak Miselyum Biokompozitlerin Karşılaştırmalı Analizi

Öz

İnşaat sektörü, yüksek enerji tüketimi, üretim süreçleri, ürün lojistiği ve uygulama yöntemlerinden kaynaklanan karbon emisyonları nedeniyle oluşan çevresel hasarın yaklaşık %40'dan sorumludur. Geleneksel yapı malzemelerinin üretim ve kullanım süreçleri doğal kaynakların tükenmesine ve ekolojik dengenin bozulmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu malzeme arayışı giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, mantar miselyumunun inşaat sektörü için potansiyelini ve önemini vurgulamaktadır. Miselyum biyokompozitleri yalnızca çevresel faydalar sağlamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda termal performans, akustik performans, basınç dayanımı, eğilme dayanımı ve radyoaktif kalkanlama özellikleri gibi önemli performans kriterleri de sergiler. Bu araştırmada, geliştirilen miselyum kompozitlerinin özellikleri inşaat sektöründe yaygın olarak kullanılan ve çevreye zararlı alternatiflerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırma, termal iletkenlik, akustik performans, basınç dayanımı ve eğilme dayanımı testlerine dayanmaktadır ve literatürde yaygın olarak kullanılan MDF, taş yünü ve alçıpan gibi ürünlerin değerleri dikkate alınmıştır. Bulgular, miselyum biyokompozitlerinin yalnızca sürdürülebilir bir alternatif olmadığını, aynı zamanda bazı performans ölçütlerinde de üstün olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle, termal performans ve akustik performansta mevcut ürünlerle rekabet edebilirler ve belirli ürünlere kıyasla üstün basınç dayanımı ve eğilme dayanımı sergilerler. İnşaat sektörünün mevcut çevresel etkileri göz önüne alındığında, miselyum bazlı malzemeler ekolojik dengeyi koruyan ve uzun vadede sürdürülebilir bir yapı uygulaması sunan yenilikçi bir çözüm olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

Comparative Analysis of Mycelium Biocomposites as Potential Next-Generation Green Building Materials

Öz

The construction industry is responsible for approximately 40% of the environmental damage due to carbon emissions resulting from high energy consumption, production processes, product logistics, and application methods. The production and use processes of traditional building materials contribute to the depletion of natural resources and the disruption of ecological balance. The search for sustainable and eco-friendly materials is becoming increasingly important in this context. This study emphasises the potential and significance of fungal mycelium for the construction industry. Mycelium biocomposites offer environmental benefits and exhibit important performance criteria such as thermal performance, acoustic performance, compressive strength, flexural strength, and radioactive shielding properties. In this research, the characteristics of the developed mycelium composites are compared with conventional environmentally harmful alternatives in the construction industry. The comparison is based on thermal conductivity, acoustic performance, compressive strength, and flexural strength tests, and the values of widely used products such as MDF, rock wool, and gypsum board in the literature are considered. The findings demonstrate that mycelium biocomposites are a sustainable alternative and superior in some performance metrics. Specifically, they can compete with existing products in thermal and acoustic performance and exhibit superior compressive strength and flexural strength compared to certain products. Given the current environmental impacts of the construction industry, mycelium-based materials stand out as an innovative solution that preserves ecological balance and offers long-term sustainable building practice.
