Abstract
The present invention provides a resin modifier (Y) containing: a block polymer (X) that has a block of a hydrophobic polymer (a) and a block of a hydrophilic polymer (b) as constitutional units, the block polymer (X) having an orientation index (ω) obtained by the following formula of 1.5 to 15: orientation index (ω)=(β)/(α) wherein (α) represents a weight ratio [(αb)/(αa)] between the hydrophilic polymer (b) and the hydrophobic polymer (a) in the block polymer (X), and (β) represents a weight ratio [(βb)/(βa)] between the hydrophilic polymer (b) and the hydrophobic polymer (a) determined by reflective infrared spectroscopy of the block polymer (X) heat-melted and pressed to a thickness of 500 μm.

- wherein (α) represents a weight ratio [(αb)/(αa)] between the hydrophilic polymer (b) and the hydrophobic polymer (a) in the block polymer (X), and
- (β) represents a weight ratio [(βb)/(βa)] between the hydrophilic polymer (b) and the hydrophobic polymer (a) determined by reflective infrared spectroscopy of the block polymer (X) heat-melted and pressed to a thickness of 500 μm, and
- wherein the hydrophobic polymer (a) is a polyolefin (a2),
- the polyolefin (a2) is an ethylene-propylene copolymer having a reactive group at one end and having 30 mol % or more and 96 mol % or less of a propylene-derived constitutional unit,
