Abstract
The present invention relates to an alginate sponge and a preparation method thereof, more particularly to an alginate sponge having significantly improved flexibility, structural integrity, water-absorptivity, and processability, to be used for medical and tissue engineering purposes, and a simple preparation method thereof. The alginate sponge of the present invention has a maximum bend angle (flexibility) of at least 90 ¨& ¬, an apparent density (structural integrity) ranging from 0.006 to 0.1 g/cm3, and a saline solution absorption ratio ranging from 150 to 700 %.
