In the present invention, it is convenient to crosslink the polymers (1) and (2) using a crosslinking agent. Divinylbenzene is usually used as a crosslinking agent. The divinylbenzene to be used may contain vinylethylbenzene or the like in addition to divinylbenzene. Vinyl esters such as divinyl phthalate and ethylene glycol diacrylate can also be used as crosslinking agents, but it is preferable to use divinylbenzene due to acid resistance issues. Therefore, polymers (2) and (1) are vinylpyridine, respectively. A copolymer obtained by polymerizing divinylpyridine and divinylpyridine and a salt of this copolymer are preferred.As polymers (2) and (1) used in the present invention, bulk polymerization or suspension of only vinylpyridine is preferred. Homopolymers obtained by polymerization and salts of these homopolymers can also sufficiently achieve the respective objects of the present invention.

If the degree of crosslinking is too large, the water absorption capacity will be insufficient, and if it is too small, it may dissolve in water. The polymerization method for vinylpyridines and the crosslinking agent may be any method such as ionic polymerization or radical polymerization, but radical polymerization is convenient.
