Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
EPA
Principal Investigator:
Susan VanHook, Mycologist
Award Amount:
$70,000.00
Abstract:
GreensulateTM is an affordable, biodegradable replacement for polystyrene/polyurethane foam building products, poised to replace petrol-foams in the rigid board insulation market. This patent pending technology uses the vegetative growth stage of a benign fungus (mycelium: P.ostreatus, I.obliquus,… More

Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Gavin R. McIntyre, BS
Award Amount:
$130,581.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to further reduce the economic and environmental costs associated with sterilization of precursor materials for the Mycobond platform. Mycobond is a revolutionary material that is grown from agricultural byproducts and a vegetative… More
New indust. crop yielding a biomaterial that will reduce dependence on foriegn oil and increase the econ. sustainability of farms in America
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
USDA
Principal Investigator:
Gavin R. McIntyre, Engineer
Award Amount:
$80,000.00
Abstract:
Foreign petroleum constitutes more than 60% of the oil used in the United States, and although significant strides are being taken to ensure future independence for fuel needs, the 10% of petroleum imports that are used as feedstock to produce materials are typically ignored. High density… More
