This has been achieved by laminating a resin composition formed by polymer-alloying i) 25% to 100% by mass of a specific styrene-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid copolymer consisting of 45% to 70% by mass of a styrene monomer unit, 10% to 30% by mass of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride monomer unit, and 10% to 35% by mass of a vinyl monomer, and ii) 75% to 0% by mass of a resin comprising a vinyl monomer as a constitutional unit, on one surface of a base material layer comprising a polycarbonate as a main component. Thus, the present invention provides the above-described synthetic resin laminate, a transparent material comprising the synthetic resin laminate, and the like.

Abstract: The optical sheet according to the present invention includes a first layer containing a polycarbonate resin and a second layer containing an amorphous polyamide resin, the first layer and the second layer being layered by coextrusion molding. The first layer and the second layer are peelable from each other; and a surface of at least one of the first layer and the second layer has a fine uneven shape formed thereat. Such an optical sheet including a plurality of layers can make the entirety sheet thick at the time of melt extrusion molding, and therefore the layered body during the molding can hold a sufficient amount of heat. This improves the transferability of the fine uneven structure. In addition, the layers may be peeled off so that one of the layers is used. In this case, the optical sheet can be made thinner.

Abstract: A method of over-molding used to produce a three-dimensional hollow molded article employs a core made of resin having a hollow portion. The core is placed in a cavity of a mold. Molten resin is injected into a space formed by the core and a cavity wall of the mold through a resin injection portion. In this way at least part of the outer surface of the core is covered with resin. Deformation of the core due to the pressure of the resin during injection is prevented in one of a number of different ways. The over-molding method is optimized by calculating a temperature distribution and a pressure distribution of the molten resin in the step of injecting the molten resin into the space by numerical analysis. The displacement distribution and for the stress distribution of the core caused by pressure applied to the core by flow of the molten resin is calculated by a numerical analysis on the basis of the calculated temperature distribution and pressure distribution.
