Thermoplastic silicone resin

A thermoplastic silicone resin comprising:

• a main chain consisting of a polysiloxane and at least two side chains which branch off from the main chain,
• wherein the side chain contains a functional group that is at least one selected from the group consisting of thymine, uracil, and adenine, and
• wherein the thermoplastic silicone resin is obtained by allowing a vinyl group of a vinyl group-containing multiple hydrogen bondable compound to react with a hydrogen atom directly bonded to a Si atom of an organohydrogenpolysiloxane, and
• the vinyl group-containing multiple hydrogen bondable compound is represented by general formula (1) below:
• MHB—Y—CH═CH2 general formula (1)
• where MHB represents a functional group that is at least one selected from the group consisting of thymine, uracil, and adenine, Y represents a methylene group or a phenylene group, and —CH═CH2 represents a vinyl group, and
• the organohydrogenpolysiloxane is represented by general formula (2) below:
• Where A, B, C, and D represent a constituent unit, A and D represent an end unit, and B and C represent a repeating unit;
• R1 to R6 may be the same or different from each other and represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group;
• and “a” represents an integer of 0 or more, and “b” represents an integer of 2 or more.
