Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of poly-?-glutamic acids which comprises the polymerization of tertiary ?-esters of ?-glutamic acid N-carboxy anhydride with appropriate solvents and initiators, followed by acid hydrolysis of the resulting poly-?-glutamic acid-?-ester. The process is particularly advantageous in that it allows one to carefully control the molecular weight of the resulting poly-?-glutamic acid. The invention also relates to poly-?-glutamic acids capped at the amino terminus with carboxylic acids or amino acids and to a process for the preparation thereof.
