[0092] The core is formed by the formation of a microgel between the terminal of the arm polymer and the polyfunctional alkenyl compound. For example, a star polymer obtained by reacting an arm polymer represented by formula (1) or (2) with a dialkenyl compound represented by formula (3) has a structure similar to that of the arm polymer represented by formula (1), where the -SC(=S)-R a R of the arm polymer represented by formula (2) a’ The moiety and the moiety derived from the dialkenyl compound represented by formula (3) constitute the core.

[0093] The arm portion is a polymer chain extending in a branched manner from the core portion. The arm portion is typically composed of a polymer portion of an arm polymer.
