Suitability of Mycelium-Reinforced Nanofiber Mats for Filtration of Different Dyes.

Electrospun nanofiber mats have a high specific surface area and very small pores which can be tailored by the spinning process. They are thus highly suitable as filters for small particles and molecules, such as organic dyes. On the other hand, they are usually very thin and thus have low mechanical properties.
