Provided are a macromolecular material that can form various structures, and that exhibits excellent toughness and strength; and a method for producing the macromolecular material. The macromolecular material includes in a polymer chain thereof a structural unit represented by the following formula (1): -R<sup>1</sup>-R<sup>H</sup> (1)(R<sup>1</sup> represents NH or O, and R<sup>H</sup> represents a host group), wherein the host group is a monovalent group formed by removing one hydrogen atom or hydroxy group from a cyclodextrin derivative, and the cyclodextrin derivative has a structure formed such that a hydrogen atom of at least one hydroxy group contained in a cyclodextrin is replaced with at least one group selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon group, an acyl group, and -CONHR (R represents a methyl group or an ethyl group). |
