Abstract: A modified polyolefin resin having an intended adhesion strength to various substrates even when graft modification may be carried out by using an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative having a cyclic structure. The modified polyolefin resin may be a modified product of a polyolefin resin and satisfies conditions (A) to (C): condition (A)—a modifying component includes an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative having a cyclic structure; condition (B)—a ring-opening degree expressed by formula (1) is 40 or more; and condition (C)—the polyolefin resin includes an ethylene structural unit, ring-opening degree=modification degree K×ring-opening rate R??(1) wherein, in the formula (1), the modification degree K is a grafting weight (wt. %) of the ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, and the ring-opening rate R is a ring-opening rate (%) of the cyclic structure in the ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminated transparent substrate comprising the steps of sandwiching between transparent glass substrates ionomer resin formed by bridging ethylenemetacryl acid copolymars with sodium ions, to form a laminated structure and sealing it in a reduced pressure atmosphere; applying heat and pressure to said laminated structure; rapidly decreasing the pressure applied to said laminated structure; and then rapidly decreasing the temperature of said laminated structure.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical compensator sheet comprising the steps of providing a sheet of ionomer, which ionomer is bridged with sodium or magnesium ions, stretching said sheet of ionomer along one direction in the plane of sheet, so as to generate uni-axial optical anisotropy of predetermined amount having an optical axis along the stretched direction, sandwiching said stretched sheet of ionomer between a pair of substrates, putting said sandwiched sheet in an evacuatable heat-resisting bag, evacuating and sealing said bag, loading said bag in an autoclave furnace and applying heat and pressure to said sheet in said autoclave furnace at a temperature not less than the melting point of the sheet. The stretched sheet has a positive optical anisotropy along the stretched direction. The sheet after heat and pressure treatment has a negative optical anisotropy along the normal to the sheet.
