Abstract

An organic polymer is provided which has an end structure expressed by general formula (1): In the formula, R 1 represents an alkyl group having a carbon number in the range of 1 to 20, an aryl group having a carbon number in the range of 6 to 20, an aralkyl group having a carbon number in the range of 7 to 20, or a triorganosiloxy group expressed by (R′) 3 SiO—. R 2 represents an alkyl group having a carbon number in the range of 1 to 20, an aryl group having a carbon number in the range of 6 to 20, an aralkyl group having a carbon number in the range of 7 to 20, an alkoxy group having a carbon number in the range of 1 to 20, or a triorganosiloxy group expressed by (R′) 3 SiO—. X represents a monovalent organic group having an epoxy group and/or an oxetanyl group. m represents an integer in the range of 0 to 20. n represents an integer of 1, 2, or 3.
