| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method for producing a composite material comprising a biofabricated material and a secondary component. The secondary component may be a porous material such as a piece of paper, cellulose or fabric that has been coated or otherwise contacted with the biofabricated material. The biofabricated material contains a uniform network of cross-linked collagen fibrils and provides strength, elasticity and aesthetic appearance to the composite. |
