Provided is a
copolymer that can interact with a SiHyCL and
mucin. This
copolymer includes constituent units of a
monomer (a) of formula (1a) or a salt thereof, a
monomer (b) of formula (1b) or (2b), and a
monomer (c) of formula (1c), the
molar ratios thereof being na = 10-70, nb = 25-85, and nc = 5-50, and Mw of the
polymer being 10,000-2,000,000. (R1 is H or CH3, X is O or NR2, R2 is H or a C1-4
alkyl group, and n = 1-4). (R3 is H or CH3, Y is O or NR4, R4 is H or a C1-4
alkyl group, and m is 1-6; there may be one or more hydroxyl groups in the
carbon chain; A is a
phosphorylcholine group or a hydroxyl group, and may be H if m = 1 or if there is a hydroxyl group in the
carbon chain). (R5 is H or CH3, and R6 is an alkylene group forming a cyclic structure together with R5 or a C1-4
alkyl group). (R7 is H or CH3, Z is O or NR9, R 9 is H or a C1-4 alkyl group, and R8 is a C1-10 alkyl group).
