The invention discloses a preparation method of a biodegradable material based on gamma-
polyglutamic acid, which comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a low-molecular-weight
polyglutamic acid aqueous solution, adjusting the pH value to be acidic to obtain a
carboxylic acid group protonated
polyglutamic acid solution, then adding a
metal ion solution into the polyglutamic acid solution, and uniformly stirring and mixing to obtain a
mixed solution; and (2) adjusting the pH value of the
mixed solution obtained in the step (1) to be alkaline while stirring, then adding a cross-linking agent into the
mixed solution, and carrying out cross-linking curing to obtain the biodegradable material. The material disclosed by the invention has mechanical properties, tensile strength,
toughness and the like can be improved, so that the material can better meet the requirements of different application scenes, the application range of the material is widened, and meanwhile, the material has relatively good degradation performance, adsorption performance, antibacterial performance and
moisture retention performance, can be produced by utilizing renewable resources, is wide in
raw material source and sustainable, and is suitable for industrial production. The dependence on non-renewable resources such as
petroleum is reduced.
