The present invention relates to: (1) a graft polymer that has a polyolefin (A) as the main chain, and a polymer (B) polymerized a dye (b) having a radical reactive functional group, in a side chain; (2) the graft polymer which is characterized in that the dye (b) having the radical reactive functional group is a cationic rhodamine derivative, a cationic triarylmethane-type dye derivative or a cationic cyanine-type dye derivative, having an ethylenically unsaturated group; (3) a colored resin consisting of the graft polymer; as well as (4) a method for producing the colored resin, which is characterized by mixing the polyolefin (A), the dye (b) having the radical reactive functional group, and the radical reaction initiator (C), and subjecting a radical reaction of the mixture; and the like.

Graft polymer, resin colored matter, method for producing same, and resin composition containing resin colored matter

A method for producing a graft-modified copolymer comprising the step of subjecting 100 parts by weight of an unsaturated copolymer comprising an .alpha.-olefin of 3 to 12 carbon atoms and a cyclic olefin represented by the following formula (I), and 0.1 to 300 parts by weight of a radically polymerizable monomer to the radical polymerization conditions: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.2-5 alkylidene group or a C.sub.2-5 alkenyl group, R.sup.2 is a C.sub.1-5 hydrocarbon radical or H, and n is 0, 1 or 2. The graft-modified copolymer is imparted with various properties which are attributed to the polymer chain formed from the radically polymerizable monomer, without the excellent properties inherent in an .alpha.-olefin polymer being impaired. The copolymer is excellent in compatibility with other resins.
