    Abstract: A method of preparing a composition comprising mycelium along with a cellulose and/or plurality of nanoparticles is described herein. The method comprises inoculating a liquid medium with fungus, the liquid medium comprising nutrients and the cellulose and/or nanoparticles. Further described herein are compositions comprising mycelium along with a cellulose and/or plurality of nanoparticles, as well as articles-of-manufacture comprising such a composition, wherein at least 10% of the cellulose and/or nanoparticles in the composition is incorporated within the mycelium. A method of enhancing fungal growth is also described, comprising contacting the fungus with a liquid medium comprising a polymer which comprises carboxylic acid groups.

    Abstract: The present invention is aimed to provide carboxymethylcellulose or a salt thereof for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an electrode composition containing the same for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, with a small reduction in the capacity even when charging and discharging are repeated, and with high durability. The carboxymethylcellulose or the salt thereof is used as a binder for an electrode of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, in which the degree of substitution with carboxymethyl of the carboxymethylcellulose or the salt thereof is 0.5 to 1.5, and a thermal rate of change T that is a difference (WB−WA) between a thermal weight reduction rate WA at a thermal decomposition start point and a thermal weight reduction rate WB at a thermal decomposition end point measured by a thermogravimetric-differential thermal analyzer is 45% or lower.
