The present invention provides a polymer gel composition including: at
least two polymer compounds which interact with each other to form a
polymer complex; and a liquid. One of the polymer compounds forms a
three-dimensional crosslinked structure, at least one other polymer
compound is compatible with the liquid, and at least a portion of the
compatible polymer compound is included in the three-dimensional
crosslinked structure. Preferably, when the polymer complex is
disassembled or decomposed by stimuli, the polymer compound forming the
three-dimensional crosslinked structure changes its volume by absorbing
or releasing the liquid. The three-dimensional crosslinked structure is
preferably in a particle shape. An optical device using such a polymer
gel composition is also provided.
