Abstract

See full text

Use of a starting solution to form a plurality of filler elements in a composite, wherein the starting solution includes a miscible solution of at least one protein and at least one further compound, with the plurality of filler elements being formed from the at least one further compound. This starting solution enables further materials imparting different properties to be incorporated into the extruded proteins. A method of forming a composite material containing a plurality of filler elements is described, in which the starting solution is induced to separate into a bulk phase and a minor phase. Such method can be carried out in an apparatus having a storage compartment for the starting material, and a phase separation compartment in which the protein and the further compound of the composite forming mixture are phase separated into a bulk material containing a plurality of filler elements.
