  Abstract

In this study, alginate/gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) blend fibers were fabricated by a wet-spinning method. To minimize the loss of gelatin and enhance the mechanical properties, photo-crosslinking of GelMA and ionic crosslinking of alginate were carried out simultaneously. To confirm the effect of dual crosslinking, gelatin leakage and mechanical properties of alginate/gelatin blend fibers were compared with those of alginate/gelatin methacrylate blend fibers. As a result of dual crosslinking, the loss of gelatin was reduced by 42.4% compared to that of the alginate/gelatin blend fibers. When the blend ratio of alginate to gelatin methacrylate was 6:4, the alginate/gelatin methacrylate blend fibers exhibited the highest elastic modulus while maintaining tensile strength. This study is expected to contribute to the development of high performance and sustainable fiber materials for diverse applications.
