    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for changing a hydrogel volume, the method including a step A of bringing an ionic polymer into contact with a hydrogel, which has a site having decomposition activity for the ionic polymer and a cross-linkable functional group that is capable of cross-linking with the ionic polymer through electrostatic interaction, to allow the cross-linkable functional group to cross-link with the ionic polymer, and reducing a volume of the hydrogel; and a step B of decomposing the ionic polymer cross-linking with the hydrogel by using the site having decomposition activity and discharging at least part of a decomposition product of the ionic polymer from the hydrogel to increase the hydrogel volume.
