Provided is a
triazine ring-containing hyperbranched
polymer comprising the repeating
unit structure represented by formula (1) and having one or more
triazine ring terminals, said one or more
triazine ring terminals being capped with a compound that differs from the
diamine compound serving as the starting material for the
polymer and has at least two active
hydrogen groups. In addition to the
polymer itself exhibiting
high heat resistance, high transparency, a high
refractive index, high light resistance, high
solubility, and
low volume shrinkage, it is also possible to use the polymer to provide a composition for film formation capable of yielding a thick film having high
hardness.(In formula (1), R and R′ each independently represent a
hydrogen atom, an
alkyl group, an
alkoxy group, an
aryl group, or an aralkyl group, and Ar represents a
divalent organic group containing an aromatic ring and / or a heterocyclic ring.)
