[Problems] To provide a novel hyperbranched polymer that is optically and thermally stable, and production method thereof.n n[Means for solving Problems] A hyperbranched polymer represented by Formula (1):n n n n n n n n n n n and having a hydrogen atom or a thiol group at a molecular terminal thereof. The hyperbranched polymer can be produced by reducing a hyperbranched polymer having a dithiocarbamate group at a molecular terminal which is produced by living radical polymerization of a dithiocarbamate compound having a vinyl group structure, or by reacting the hyperbranched polymer having a dithiocarbamate group at a molecular terminal with a thiolation converting agent. |
