The present invention provides a polymer gel material having low controlled swelling property, high elastic modulus or strength, and excellent performance in biocompatibility, and a method for producing the same. A polymer gel composite material comprising hydroxyapatite in a polymer gel composed of a polymer obtained from a water-soluble organic monomer and a water-swellable clay mineral. Also, a polymer gel composed of a polymer obtained from a water-soluble organic monomer and a water-swellable clay mineral is alternately impregnated with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal phosphate and an aqueous solution of a calcium salt one or more times to form a polymer gel. A method for producing a polymer gel composite material, wherein hydroxyapatite is formed on the surface. [Selection diagram] None |
