Abstract: The bionic composite materials, is claimed, where the materials are: constructed, with genetic methodology and/or organic-technological methods, from resilient connective tissue fibers (fibrillin-microfibrils, elastin, oxytalan fibrils and analogous fibrils and fiber structures of a resilient system of an extracellular matrix of connective tissues) and biological coupling molecules such as laminin and fibronectin; and compensated and/or dissipated to conduct electrical loads along the fiber structures and the coupling molecules and/or over the fiber- or fiber structures of the materials. The bionic composite materials, is claimed, where the materials are: constructed, with genetic methodology and/or organic-technological methods, from resilient connective tissue fibers (fibrillin-microfibrils, elastin, oxytalan fibrils and analogous fibrils and fiber structures of a resilient system of an extracellular matrix of connective tissues) and biological coupling molecules such as laminin and fibronectin; and compensated and/or dissipated to conduct electrical loads along the fiber structures and the coupling molecules and/or over the fiber- or fiber structures of the bionic materials. The materials have a biotechnological exploitation of a biodigital bioelectric signal generation and signal transmission along the designated native supramolecular protein structures. The coupling molecules have semiconductive properties, and the bionic material is stored within a resilient fibrillar network by an electrical charge. The materials are obtained form resilient microfibril-fabrics, fibers, complex elastic fibers or other structures from the genetic material of vertebrates, resilient fibrils, fibrillin-rich microfibrils and elastic fibers of the extracellular matrix of body tissues of animal species of other animal classes such as animal species of arthropods, insects and drosophila with inclusion of resilin, fibrillin-rich microfibrils in nano-fibril level and/or polyps and jellyfish with the fibrillin rich microfibrils. The materials have a desired temperature of 37[deg] C and a smaller moisture content. The materials are obtained, with the genetic methodology, from cellular and tissue samples of battle-fresh warm blooded animals for slaughter of agriculture. The complex of resilient fiber structures is obtained from central elastin core and surrounds the resilient microfibrils, where the defined resilient and electrical characteristics are incorporated with the specific coupling molecules. The electrical loads are conducted and/or derived by the bionic material and are capacitively stored in a defined manner. The electric conductivity of the bionic material is larger than an ionic conductivity of the bionic material. Catalyst in an aqueous solution having characteristic properties is obtained by a humid or aqueous environment or an electrolyte solution, where an interstitial tissue is represented by a body tissue. The bionic composite materials are manufactured in connection with collagen or other polymer materials. The biopolymers are changed with technical and biotechnological methods with additional synthetic steps to optimize biophysical, biochemical and material-technical properties and to adapt other concrete applications. The materials are insertable as biogenous nanoelectronic signal lead structure in the conceptual of DNA-computer, and the structures of the resilient fibrillar fibers and microfibrils are used together with other intracellular signal line simulating native, biotechnologically manufactured protein structures with usable organic-electronic properties.
