A faux leather biomaterial is disclosed. It may be made from shell seafood waste and coffee grounds with the aim to work as a sustainable alternative instead of prior art faux and animal leathers.

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.

A wipe containing a fibrous web on which is coated an antimicrobial composition is provided. The composition includes a botanical oil derived from a plant (e.g., thymol, carvacrol, etc.). Because the oil is volatile and tends to evaporate and lose efficacy prior to use, a protein is also employed to enhance the composition's long term stability and antimicrobial efficacy. The protein tends to form a substantially continuous film when coated onto the fibrous web. Because such proteins are typically stiff and brittle, a continuous film would restrict the ability of the fibers to move and bend, reducing web flexibility and drape. Thus, it is typically desired that the antimicrobial composition form a discontinuous coating on the web. In this regard, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that the addition of an organopolysiloxane can help achieve a discontinuous coating without adversely impacting the ability of the protein to stabilize the oil.

Silk processed, coated, repaired, and/or infused faux or bonded leather, or faux or bonded leather articles, and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein.

The invention herein provides biofabricated leather materials, solutions comprising collagen that can be used to create biofabricated leather materials, articles comprising biofabricated leather materials applied to portions of a substrate in a pattern or a design such a lace like pattern, and/or that serve to join end portions of one or more substrates, e.g., to replace stitching and/or adhesives, and methods thereof.

This disclosure provides novel silk protein bonded layered or spun materials and processes that convert the waste leather materials into luxury fabrics exhibiting good dyeability, high brilliance, and excellent color fastness. Described herein is silk processed, coated, repaired, and/or infused faux or bonded leather, or faux or bonded leather articles, and methods of preparing the same.
