RMIT Researchers Developing Innovative Cladding Material for Construction

Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne have developed an innovative fireproof cladding material using fungal compounds to create thin mats that provide an improved and eco-friendly alternative for the construction industry. By leveraging mycelium, a network of fungal strands known for its fire-retardant properties, they have pioneered a sustainable solution that could revolutionise building safety. This breakthrough could address fire…
