  • Stable biodegradable, high water absorbable polyglutamic acid hydrogel by 3-dimensional cross-linking and its preparation method
    Patent number: 7790417
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of a stable biodegradable, high water absorbable ?-polyglutamic acid (?-PGA) hydrogel by directly cross-linking (A) a ?-polyglutamic acid (?-PGA), a ?-polyglutamate, or a mixture thereof, and optionally a polysaccharide containing a carboxylic and/or carboxylate group, an amino acid, or a mixture thereof; and/or (B) a microbial culture broth containing a ?-polyglutamic acid (?-PGA), a ?-polyglutamate, or a mixture thereof, and optionally a polysaccharide containing a carboxylic and/or carboxylate group, an amino acid, or a mixture thereof, with a cross-linker comprising a compound having three or more functional groups or a mixture of a compound having three or more functional groups and a compound having two functional groups, wherein each of the functional groups can react with a carboxylic group (—COOH), carboxylate group (—COO?), aldehyde group (—CHO), hydroxyl (—OH), carbonyl group (—CO), sulfone group (—SO2), amino group (—NH2) or nitro gro
