<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic-inorganic composite hydrogel having both excellent mechanical properties and high swellability with a physiological saline, a dried article of the same, and a method for producing the same. <P>SOLUTION: This organic-inorganic composite hydrogel includes a polymer of a water-soluble acrylic monomer and a water-swellable clay mineral. A monomer represented by formula (1) is used as the water-soluble acrylic monomer to provide the organic-inorganic composite hydrogel having both excellent mechanical properties and high swellability with a physiological saline as well as a dried article thereof excellent in flexibility. In formula (1), R<SP>1</SP>is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R<SP>2</SP>is a 2-3C alkylene group, n is an integer of 10-99, and Y is a methoxy or hydroxy group. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
