A cartilage mimetic gel includes double network hydrogels. The double network hydrogels comprise a first crosslinked network and a second crosslinked network. The first crosslinked network can be formed from poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid). The second crosslinked network can be formed from poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide-co-acrylamide).

The present invention provides a water-soluble polymer composition which is suppressed in decrease of the viscosity over time if formed into an aqueous solution that contains iron ions. A water-soluble polymer composition which contains a water-soluble polymer, a phenolic antioxidant and an inorganic salt other than a transition metal salt, wherein the content of the inorganic salt is from 0.001 part by mass to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the water-soluble polymer.
