Abstract
The present disclosure provides layered collagen materials comprising one or more collagen/polymer matrix layers. The collagen/polymer matrix layer(s) are formed of a collagen blended with one or more polymers. The collagen blended within the polymer(s) can be dissolved within the polymer(s). The one or more collagen/polymer matrix layers can be attached to a substrate layer, for example a fabric layer.
Claims16
A material, comprising collagen dissolved within a water-dispersible polyurethane;
- wherein the material is a solid material, and
- wherein the collagen dissolved within the water-dispersible polyurethane is miscible with the polyurethane such that the collagen and polyurethane are not present as separate phases within the material.
A method of making a material comprising collagen dissolved within a water-dispersible polyurethane, the method comprising:
- dissolving the collagen within the water-dispersible polyurethane, wherein the collagen dissolved within the water-dispersible polyurethane is miscible with the polyurethane such that the collagen and polyurethane are not present as separate phases within the material.
