A polymer composition including a functional material, the composition
containing at least a block polymer encapsulating a material of a
predetermined function and a solvent, wherein a property of the polymer
in the composition is changed in response to a stimulus, whereby the
block polymer encapsulating the material agglomerates together, or an ink
composition usable as an inkjet ink containing at least a block polymer
encapsulating a coloring material and a solvent, wherein a property of
the polymer in the composition is changed in response to a stimulus,
whereby the block polymer encapsulating the coloring material
agglomerates together. The change of the property of the block polymer in
response to a stimulus is a change from the lyophilic nature to the
lyophobic nature, or the lyophilic nature to the lyophobic nature.
