METHOD FOR BIOFABRICATING COMPOSITE MATERIAL

The invention is directed 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 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.
