The new material developed by the
multidisciplinary research
team is composed of collagen (the most abundant protein of the human body which has known regenerative
potential and can support the body's cells) and graphene (the world's thinnest material which is known to have unique mechanical and electrical properties) resulting
in an electroconductive «biohybrid» combining the beneficial properties of both materials — resulting
in a material which is mechanically stronger, with increased electrical conductivity.
