A hyperbranch polymer is bonded to a pore surface existing on a SiO.sub.2
glass porous body, such that the hyperbranch polymer is bonded to the
pore surface only at the base end moiety. The hyperbranch polymer has a
first generation branched moiety branched from the base end moiety, a
second generation branched moiety further branched from the first
generation branched moiety, and a third generation branched moiety
further branched from the second generation branched moiety. A functional
group, such as sulfonic acid group, from which a proton is capable of
being dissociated, is bonded by substitution to the terminal end of the
third generation branched moiety.
