PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional polymer gel containing a functional polymer gel which stably keeps a larger amount of liquid and, when it is stimulation-responsive, exhibits an enough amount of change in the degree of swelling, a polymer gel composition containing the functional polymer gel and an optical device having an excellent dimming characteristic. SOLUTION: The functional polymer gel has evenly dispersed fine particles constituting crosslinking points. The polymer gel composition contains the functional polymer gel. The optical device is provided at least with the polymer gel composition. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
