Researchers at TU Bergakademie Freiberg have developed a compostable printed circuit board substrate made from fungal mycelium recovered as a byproduct of industrial citric acid production. Conventional printed circuit boards typically use glass fiber-reinforced fossil epoxy resin, making them difficult to recycle or biodegrade. The researchers instead used residual biomass from the industrial cultivation of […]
