It is an object of the invention to provide a method for producing a
modified polymer compound and a production apparatus of a modified
polymer capable of producing a modified polymer compound with a high
purity in a short time, and such a modified polymer compound.The
invention provides a method for producing a modified polymer compound,
which comprises chemically modifying a polymer compound in a
supercritical fluid or a high temperature and high pressure fluid, said
modified polymer compound being composed of monomer units obtainable by
chemically modifying part of or all of monomer units composed of the
polymer compound before modification reaction.
