本論文中利用鈣型聚麩胺酸取代傳統以氯化鈣作為離子交鏈劑，與海藻酸鈉進行交鏈，成功的合成出一種新型的水膠。實驗中除了利用FT-IR檢視所合成出來的水膠結構、還測試了一些基本吸水性質，及對磷酸鹽溶液的穩定性外。尚利用保水率、透濕率、蛋白質吸附、血小板吸附、細胞毒性等相關的生物相容性，來作為開發新型的創傷敷料應用上的價值評估。
實驗結果顯示海藻酸-聚麩胺酸水膠在各性質上均優於傳統的海藻酸-氯化鈣水膠，並具有pH敏感性、非常卓越的血小板吸附特性，以及促進凝血的效果。因此在創傷敷料及藥物釋放的應用，相信具有很大的發展潛力。

In this study, we successfully used calcium form γ-polyglutamic acid to prepare a novel alginate hydrogel instead of traditional process that used calcium chloride to perform ion crosslinking. The resulting hydrogels were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, basic swelling behavior test, and the stability in a phosphate solution. Water resistance tests, water vapor transmission test, and other biocompatible tests were performed to evaluate the applicability of this hydrogel as a wound dressing material. The results show that this hydrogel exhibits pH-sensitivity, higher platelet adhering ability, and shorter coagulation time. Overall results demonstrated the alginate-polyglutamic acid hydrgel have a potential for wound dressing and drug delivery regions.
