ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric composite material formed from an artificial core fiber and an elastomeric polypeptide chemically bonded to the surface of the core fiber, where the polypeptide comprises tetrapeptide or pentapeptide repeating units or mixtures thereof, the repeating units comprise hydrophobic amino acid or glycine residues, and the amino acid residues of a given repeating unit exist in a conformation having a .beta.-turn. Also disclosed are elastomeric fabrics formed from the elastomeric composite and the use of such fabrics in vascular prosthesis, as well as a method of forming such elastomeric composite materials.
