Poly-L-Glutamic Acid (CAS 25513-46-6)
QUICK LINKS
Poly-L-glutamic acid is a biopolymer consisting of L-glutamic acid units. Poly-L-glutamic acid has the ability to form stable water-soluble complexes with metal ions. Poly-L-glutamic acid is utilized in the creation of biodegradable materials, serving as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic polymers. Its application extends to the development of hydrogels, which are networks of polymer chains that can retain a large amount of water. These hydrogels are explored for their potential in agriculture for water retention in soil, in water purification systems to capture and remove contaminants, and in the packaging industry to create materials that degrade more readily in the environment. Additionally, poly-L-glutamic acid′s ability to form complexes with metals makes it useful in the field of biochemistry for studying metal ion transport and storage. It can also be employed in the synthesis of nanocomposites and nanoparticles.
