A second-order modified block copolymer which can be obtained by reacting
a first-order modified block copolymer with a second-order modifier,
wherein the first-order modified block copolymer comprises a base block
copolymer and a functional group-containing first-order modifier group
bonded to the base block copolymer, wherein the base block copolymer
comprises at least one polymer block comprised mainly of vinyl aromatic
hydrocarbon monomer units and at least one polymer block comprised mainly
of conjugated diene monomer units, and wherein the second-order modifier
has a specific functional group which is reactive to the functional group
of the first-order modifier group of the first-order modified block
copolymer. A second-order modified block copolymer-containing polymer
composition comprising the second-order modified block copolymer as well
as a thermoplastic resin and/or a rubbery polymer.
