Abstract
The invention herein provides biofabricated materials having zonal properties and methods of making biofabricated materials having zonal properties.
Claims15
An article, comprising:
- a material having zonal properties, the material comprising:
- a first collagen-containing material comprising collagen attached to a first fabric material, the first collagen-containing material having a first set of material properties;
- and
- a second collagen-containing material comprising collagen attached to a second fabric material, the second collagen-containing material having a second set of material properties, wherein at least one material property within the second set of material properties has a value that is different from the same property in the first set of material properties;
- and
- wherein an edge of the first collagen-containing material and an edge of the second collagen-containing material are disposed side-by-side in a single layer.
3 more elements
A method of making a material having zonal properties,
- the method comprising:
- placing a first fabric material on a surface;
- placing a second fabric material with different properties next to the first fabric material;
- applying an aqueous solution of collagen over the two fabric materials to form:
- a first collagen-containing material comprising collagen and the first fabric material, and
- a second collagen-containing material comprising collagen and the second fabric material;
- and
- drying the first collagen-containing material and the second collagen-containing material to form the material having zonal properties;
- wherein:
- the first collagen-containing material has a first set of material properties;
- the second collagen-containing material has a second set of material properties;
- at least one material property within the second set of material properties has a value that is different from the same property in the first set of material properties;
- and
- an edge of the first collagen-containing material and an edge of the second collagen-containing material are disposed side-by-side in a single layer.
