Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of forming high-strength composite sheets composed of a fiber-reinforced biological matrix. This invention discloses three aspects of technology: fiber placement, biological matrix growth, and material insertion within a biological matrix. A cell culture is grown in a tank of nutrients. The cells form a skin and can envelope fibers that are positioned at a specific location. When taken out of its solution, it dries pinning the fibers into the sheet to form a lightweight, waterproof layer. By creating mostly axial fibers and rolling them into a tube, extremely strong structural cylinders can be formed. By incorporating a mesh of fibers (woven or knit) an extremely tough layer is formed that can be stacked and made into ballistic armor. The addition of foreign additives; graphite, metal powder may increase the strength, performance, and conductivity of the material.
