A polyester carbonate resin is provided, which includes a structural unit derived from a compound represented by general formula (1), a structural unit derived from a compound represented by general formula (2), a structural unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, and a structural unit derived from a carbonic acid diester. The polyester carbonate can be used, e.g., in optical systems. 

Resin produced by polycondensation, and resin composition

According to one embodiment, a polyester resin is provided, which includes a structural unit derived from a compound represented by general formula (1), a structural unit derived from a compound represented by general formula (2), and a structural unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof. 

A polycarbonate resin composition including: a polycarbonate resin (A) which has a constitutional unit (a) represented by general formula (4); and a polycarbonate resin (B) which has a constitutional unit (b) represented by general formula (5). (In formula (4), X represents an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.) (In formula (5), Rand Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkoxyl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; and Y represents an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.) 

Polycarbonate resin composition, and optical material and optical lens each manufactured using same

According to the present invention, a composition for optical material, which is capable of providing a homogeneous optical material, can be prepared through pre-polymerization reaction between (a) an inorganic compound having a sulfur atom and (b) an episulfide compound using a hindered amine as a catalyst, followed by mixing with (c) a polythiol compound and (d) a polyisocyanate compound. Moreover, this composition for optical material can be polymerized and cured to thereby provide an optical material having high refractive index (ne of 1.73 or higher), high strength (an elongation of 13% or more in three-point bend test and good drilling resistance), and high heat resistance (a softening point of 70&#xb0; C. or higher, as measured by TMA).

Method for producing composition for optical material

The polycarbonate resin of the present invention has a structural unit represented by general formula (A): (in formula (A), X is an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms).

Polycarbonate resin, production method therefor, and optical molded body

Provided is a thermoplastic resin having a high refractive index, which is favorable as an optical material. Provided are a polyformal resin copolymer comprising a high refractive index diol that has a fluorene skeleton and an aromatic diol that has a low glass-transition point when polymerized, and a method for producing the same.

Polyformal resin copolymer and method for producing the same

A composition for use in an optical material is disclosed which is capable of providing an optical material satisfying a high refractive index (ne is 1.73 or more), a high strength (an elongation is 10% or more in a three-point bending test and drilling resistance is good), and a high thermostability (a softening point measured by TMA is 70&#xb0; C. or higher). The optical material such as a lens for two-point frame spectacles is formed by polymerizing and curing a composition for use in an optical resin material containing (a) an inorganic compound having a sulfur atom and/or a selenium atom, (b) an episulfide compound, and (c) a xylylenedithiol compound.

Composition for use in optical material with high refractive index and high strength

The present invention can provide a composition for optical members, which contains (a) a compound having one or more of any group selected from the group consisting of an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, an allyl group and a vinyl group and one or more &#x3b2;-epithiopropyl groups in a molecule. In a preferable embodiment of the present invention, the composition for optical members further contains at least one compound selected from (b) a compound having one or more &#x3b2;-epithiopropyl groups in a molecule while having no polymerizable unsaturated bond group, (c) an inorganic compound having a sulfur atom and/or a selenium atom, (d) a compound having one or more thiol groups in a molecule, (e) a compound having one or more amino groups in a molecule while having no heterocyclic ring, and (f) a compound having one or more of at least one group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group and an allyl group in a molecule.
