A polycarbonate resin having a high refractive index, a low Abbe number and a high moisture and heat resistance is provided. In an embodiment, a polycarbonate resin including a structural unit represented by general formula (1) below is provided.

Polycarbonate resin, method for producing the same, and optical lens

The present application provides a polycarbonate resin composition which has a high refractive index and a low Abbe number, and high thermal stability. The polycarbonate resin composition according to one embodiment of the present application includes a polycarbonate resin and an antioxidant, wherein the polycarbonate resin contains a constituent unit represented by general formula (1) (in general formula (1), X represents an alkylene group having 1-4 carbon atoms, and a and b each independently represent an integer of 1-10), and the antioxidant content is 1-3000 ppm. 

Polycarbonate resin composition, production method therefor, and optical lens

A polycarbonate resin having a high refractive index, a low Abbe number and a high moisture and heat resistance is provided. In an embodiment, a polycarbonate resin including a structural unit represented by general formula (1) below is provided. 

Provided are a polycarbonate having an appropriate refractive index and an appropriate Abbe number, and comprehensively excelling in heat resistance, total light transmittance, and hue, and a molded article thereof. The polycarbonate includes a constituent unit represented by Formula [I] and a constituent unit having a hydrocarbon group containing a cyclic structure. In Formula [I], Rand Reach independently denote a hydrocarbon group, and each Rindependently denotes a hydrogen atom, a heteroatom-containing group, a halogen atom-containing group, a linear alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a branched alkyl group having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, or a group including an aryl group and having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. 

Polycarbonate and molded article

A polycarbonate resin having a high refractive index, low Abbe number, and high moist heat resistance that includes structural units represented by general formula (1): 

Polycarbonate resin, method for producing same, and optical lens

The present invention relates to binaphthyl compounds of the formula (I), which are suitable as monomers for preparing polycarbonate resins having beneficial optical properties and which can be used for producing optical lenses: Formula (I) where X is C-C-alkandiyl or C-C-alkandiyl-C(O)&#x2014;, where C(O) is bound to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group and where C-C-alkandiyl or C-C-alkandiyl, respectively, are unsubstituted or carry a phenyl ring; R and R' are identical or different and selected from mono or polycyclic aryl having from 6 to 36 carbon atoms and mono- or polycyclic hetaryl having a total of 5 to 36 atoms, which are ring members, where 1, 2, 3 or 4 of these atoms are selected from nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen, while the remainder of these atoms are carbon atoms, where mono- or polycyclic aryl and mono- or polycyclic hetaryl are unsubstituted or carry 1 or 2 radicals R, which are selected from the group consisting of CN, CH, OCH, O-phenyl, O-naphthyl, S-phenyl, S-naphthyl, CI or F; and, if X is C-C-alkandiyl-C(O)&#x2014;, the esters thereof, in particular the C-C-alkylesters thereof. 

Binaphthyl compounds

The present invention provides a polycarbonate resin having a high refractive index, low Abbe number, and high moist heat resistance. The above problem, according to one embodiment, can be solved by a polycarbonate resin including structural units represented by general formula (1).
