A modified vinylaromatic copolymer comprising a structural unit (a) derived from a divinylaromatic compound, a structural unit (b) derived from a monovinylaromatic compound, and a structural unit (c) derived from a conjugated diene compound, wherein 95% by mol or more of the structural unit (a) is a crosslinked structural unit (a1) represented by the following formula (1):
- wherein R1 represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms;
- and
- the copolymer is modified by at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of an amino group, an alkoxysilyl group, and a hydroxyl group, the average number of functional groups per molecule is 2.0 or more, and 30% by mol or more of the functional group is bound to the structural unit (c) derived from a conjugated diene compound to provide modification, and a number average molecular weight Mn is 500 to 30,000.
