A copolymer comprising a residue unit A represented by the general formula (1) and a residue unit B represented by the general formula (2):
wherein R1 and R2 each independently represent hydrogen (provided that the case where R1 and R2 are both hydrogen is eliminated), a cyano group, an ester group (-C(=O)OX1), an amide group (-C(=O)N(X2)(X3)), or an acyl group (-C(=O)X4) (where X1 to X3 each independently represent a linear alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and X4 represents a linear alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cyclic group having 3 to 14 carbon atoms); R3 to R7 each independently represent hydrogen, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a cyclic group having 3 to 14 carbon atoms, a halogen, a hydroxy group, a carboxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an alkoxy group (-OX5), an ester group (-C(=O)OX6), an amide group (-C(=O)N(X7)(X8)), an acyl group (-C(=O)X9), an amino group (-N(X10)(X11)), or a sulfonic acid group (-SOOX12) (where X5 to X8 each independently represent a linear alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, X9 to X12 each independently represent hydrogen, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms); and adjacent substituents among R3 to R7 may form a fused ring structure each other,
wherein R8 represents an m-membered heterocyclic residue containing one or more heteroatoms or a 5-membered or 6-membered ring residue containing no heteroatom (provided that, when R8 is a 6-membered ring residue containing no heteroatom, at least one of R3 to R7 in the general formula (1) represents a hydroxy group), and m represents an integer of 5 to 10; and the m-membered heterocyclic residue, the 5-membered ring residue, and the 6-membered ring residue may form a fused ring structure.
