PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a polymeric compound capable of showing temperature response in a solution and utilizable as a material having the function of adsorbing, separating, or releasing a substance, which compound comprises repeating units being units derived from a hydroxylalkylamide monomer having a large number of carbon atoms. SOLUTION: Provided is a polymeric compound comprising repeating units of the formula (wherein Z is H or methyl; X is H, a 1-8C linear or branched structure, or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a hydroxyl group in at least one position; Y is a 2-8C linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a hydroxyl group in at least one position, provided that X and Y may be combined to form a chemical bond; and n is an integer of 2 or greater). The monomer from which each repeating unit is derived is exemplified by a compound synthesized from the reaction of acrylic chloride, methacrylic chloride, acrylic anhydride or methacrylic anhydride with a 3-16C linear, branched, or cyclic alkylaminoalcohol.
