Abstract

A flexible membrane temlating technique (a) is developed for the fabrication of microcrimped collagen microfibers (b) that are embedded in an elastin-like protein matrix to generate hierarchical, biologically inspired fiber-reinforced composites (c). The microcrimped structure is stable under cyclic loading and the mechanical response of the engineered collagen-elastin composite mimics that of native tissue. (Figure Presented)
