Abstract: A water-insoluble polyglutamic acid (PGA) fiber and a preparation method thereof are provided. In the preparation method, the PGA is cross-linked by a cross-linking agent and then passes through a spinning nozzle to form PGA fibers. Therefore, the highly water-absorbing PGA, which cannot be spun by conventional methods, can be spun to form PGA fibers and maintain the high water-absorption ability.
