Abstract:
1. A biomaterial comprising one or more soluble or solubilized primary proteins, wherein one of the primary proteins is collagen, one or more glycosaminoglycans and one or more biocompatible solvents, the biomaterial is formed by adding the glycosaminoglycan(s) to one or more of the primary protein(s) that are dissolved in the solvent(s); the glycosaminoglycan(s), primary protein(s) and solvent(s) are minimally mixed to form a precipitate that aggregates into an amorphous body that falls out of solution; the amorphous body is extracted and formed into an amorphous thermoplastic biocoacervate; and the biocoacervate is crosslinked to produce the biomaterial.
