An acrylic thermoplastic resin composition includes a first acrylic resin having a first structural unit represented by the following formula (1) and a second structural unit represented by the following formula (2), and a second acrylic resin having the first structural unit represented by the following formula (1) and a third structural unit represented by the following formula (3), in which a total content of the first unit is 50 to 95 mass % and a total content of the second structural unit and the third structural unit is 5 to 50 mass % based on a total amount of the first acrylic resin and the second acrylic resin: 

Acrylic thermoplastic resin composition and molded article thereof

The present invention provides a thermoplastic acrylic resin of a copolymer comprising 10 to 70% by weight of a repeating unit derived from the particular methacrylate monomer, 5 to 40% by weight of a repeating unit derived from the particular vinyl aromatic monomer, and 20 to 50% by weight of a repeating unit of the particular cyclic acid anhydride, characterized in that a molar ratio (B/A) is within the range of more than 1 to not more than 10, wherein (A) is a content of the repeating unit of the vinyl aromatic monomer and (B) is a content of the repeating unit of the cyclic acid anhydride, and the total amount of remaining monomers to 100 parts by weight of the copolymer is not more than 0.5 part by weight.

Thermoplastic acrylic resin, and molded product thereof

The present invention provides an acrylic thermoplastic resin containing 50 to 95% by mass of a repeating unit (X) derived from a methacrylate monomer represented by the following formula (1), 0.1 to 20% by mass of a repeating unit (Y1) derived from an N-substituted maleimide monomer (a) represented by the following formula (2), and 0.1 to 49.9% by mass of a repeating unit (Y2) derived from an N-substituted maleimide monomer (b) represented by the following formula (3), regarding the total amount of the repeating unit (X), the repeating unit (Y1), and the repeating unit (Y2) as 100% by mass:  The absolute value of a photoelastic coefficient (C) of the acrylic thermoplastic resin is not greater than 3.0&#xd7;10Pa. The halogen atom content is less than 0.47% by mass with reference to the mass of the acrylic thermoplastic resin.
