Abstract
The biocompatibility and biodegradability of poly(amino acid) make them ideal candidates for many bio-related applications. Poly(aspartic acid), PASP, is one of synthetic water-soluble polymers with proteinlike structure, and has been extensively explored for the potential industrial and biomedical applications due to its biodegradable, biocompatible and pH responsive properties. In this work, amino acid-conjugated PASPs were prepared by aminolysis reaction onto polysuccinimide (PSI) using γ-aminobutylic acid(GABA) and β-alanine methyl ester and a subsequent hydrolysis process. Their chemical gels were prepared by crosslinking reaction with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE). The hydrogels were investigated for their basic swelling behavior, hydrolytic degradation and morphology. The crosslinked gels showed a responsive swelling behavior, which was dependent on pH and salt concentration in aqueous solution, and relatively fast hydrolytic degradation.

생체적합하고 생분해성을 갖는 폴리아미노산의 하나인 폴리아스팔트산은 팹타이드 결합으로 이루어진 수용성 합성고분자로서 의료용 소재 및 다양한 응용분야의 연구가 흥미있게 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 아미노산인 GABA(γ-aminobutylic acid)와 β-alanine을 곁사슬에 도입한 폴리아스팔트산 유도체 고분자를 제조하고, 이들을 서로 다른 함량의 ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether(EGDE)를 사용하여 가교시켜 고흡수성 하이드로젤을 제조하였다. 각 하이드로젤에 대해 증류수와 PBS 용액에서 기본적인 팽윤물성, 젤의 가수분해 거동과 모폴로지를 조사하였다. 제조한 하이드로젤은 수용액에서 pH와 염(salt) 농도에 의존하는 민감성 팽윤거동을 보였으며, 또한 비교적 빠른 가수분해 거동을 나타내었다.

Keywords: poly(aspartic acid); amino acids; hydrogel; swelling behavior; hydrolytic degradation.
