Abstract
The hydrogel of the present invention is a hydrogel comprising a polymer matrix, water and a plasticizer, wherein the hydrogel is characterized in that the plasticizer loss ratio is less than 2, the swelling rate is 115% or less when the hydrogel is exposed to the environment of 40° C. and 90% RH for 1 hour, and the initial adhesive force to a Bakelite plate is 100 gf/20 mm or more in the environment of 23° C. and 55% RH. The plasticizer is preferably polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether and/or sugar. The initial high adhesive force is retained by suppressing the swelling of the gel due to invasion of water from the outside and reducing the loss of a plasticizer.
