  • Patent number: 9085647
    Abstract: A thermoplastic transparent resin which is produced by hydrogenating 70% or more of aromatic double bonds of a copolymer. The copolymer is produced by polymerizing a monomer composition containing at least one (meth)acrylic ester monomer and at least one aromatic vinyl monomer and has a molar ratio (A/B) of from 1 to 4 wherein A is a molar amount of a constitutional unit derived from the (meth)acrylic ester monomer and B is a molar amount of a constitutional unit derived from the aromatic vinyl monomer. The thermoplastic transparent resin is suitable for the production of a molded article such as optical article having a good color tone because molding defect is less produced.

  • Publication number: 20110244242
    Abstract: Provided is a thermoplastic resin laminate including: a thermoplastic transparent resin (A) layer; a thermoplastic resin (B) layer formed of a methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer and/or an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer; and a thermoplastic resin (C) layer formed of a polycarbonate-based resin, the (B) layer being laminated on one surface, or each of both surfaces, of the (C) layer, and the (A) layer being laminated on the surface of the (B) layer, in which the thermoplastic transparent resin (A) includes a vinyl copolymer resin containing a (meth)acrylate constituent unit (a) and an aliphatic vinyl constituent unit (b) each having a specific structure at a molar ratio between the (meth)acrylate constituent unit (a) and the aliphatic vinyl constituent unit (b) of 15:85 to 85:15.

  • Patent number: 7183362
    Abstract: In the invention, a polyester resin comprising dicarboxylic acid constitutional units and diol constitutional units wherein 5 to 60 mol % of the diol constitutional units has a cyclic acetal skeleton is produced by a process comprising an oligomerization step and a polymerization step. In the oligomerization step, an ester having a limited acid value is transesterified with a diol having a cyclic acetal skeleton in the presence of a basic compound to obtain an oligomer. The oligomer is then polymerized in the subsequent polymerization step to increase the molecular weight.
