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.
Claims29
A composite material, comprising:
- at least one secondary component;
- and
- at least one collagen-based material, the collagen-based material comprising:
- a network of recombinant non-human collagen fibrils;
- 5% to 25% water by weight of the collagen-based material;
- and
- 0.1% to 60% of a lubricant by weight of the collagen-based material,
- wherein 1% to 40% by weight of the recombinant non-human collagen fibrils within the network of recombinant non-human collagen fibrils are assembled in the form of recombinant collagen fibers comprising a plurality of the recombinant non-human collagen fibrils, and
- wherein each of the recombinant collagen fibers has a diameter in a range of 1 μm to 10 μm.
