N-methacryloyl-( l)-glutamic acid (MAGA) was synthesized using methacryloyl chloride and l-glutamic acid methyl ester as a metal-complexing ligand and/or comonomer. MAGA was characterized by FTIR and NMR. Spherical beads with an average diameter of 150–200 μm were obtained by suspension polymerizati...
