Prediction of Mold Spoilage for Soy/Polyethylene Composite Fibers

Figure 2

One gram of soy/PE fiber sample in aluminum pans that developed mold spoilage. (a) Mold spores, (b) visible mold mycelium when placed in high humidity environments, and (c) mold growth on fibers with an area approximately 5% of total area that was termed as positive mold spoilage for modeling purposes.
