Abstract
The invention is directed to a composite material comprising a biofabricated material and a secondary component. The secondary component may be a porous material, such as a sheet of paper, cellulose, or fabric that has been coated or otherwise contacted with the biofabricated material. The biofabricated material comprises a uniform network of crosslinked collagen fibrils and provides strength, elasticity and an aesthetic appearance to the composite material.
Claims35
A method for making a composite material comprising:
- dispersing, encapsulating, incorporating, or otherwise introducing at least one biofabricated material into or onto at least one porous, permeable, or absorptive secondary component;
- wherein said at least one biofabricated material comprises a network of recombinant non-human collagen fibrils produced from isolated or purified recombinant non-human collagen molecules;
- wherein said material contains no more than 25% by weight water;
- said material has a collagen density of at least 70 mg/cc;
- and wherein said material contains at least 1% of a lubricant.
