Abstract

Provided is a hydrogel composition including thermosensitive poly(phosphazene) to which a plurality of hydrophobic amino acids, hydrophilic polymers, and host molecules are substituted; and a physiologically active material linked to a guest molecule, wherein the poly(phosphazene) and the physiologically active material form a conjugate by inclusion of the guest molecule in the host molecule via a host-guest interaction.
