Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a break-resistant copolymer having high transparency and heat resistance and also having a high tensile strain at break, and a molded article. A copolymer contains 80% by mass to 98% by mass of structural units derived from a methacrylic ester monomer and 2% to 10% by mass of ester structural units derived from a cyclic ketene acetal monomer. The copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 80,000 or more and a molecular weight distribution of 1.75 to 3.80.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A melt molded article comprising a copolymer comprising: 80% by mass to 98% by mass of structural units derived from a methacrylic ester monomer; and 2% to 10% by mass of ester structural units derived from a cyclic ketene acetal monomer, the copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 80,000 or more and a molecular weight distribution of 1.75 to 3.80, and wherein the methacrylic ester monomer is methyl methacrylate, wherein the melt molded article has a yield point when performing a tensile test and wherein the copolymer has a glass transition temperature of from 70 to 180° C. 2. The melt molded article according to claim 1 , wherein a polymer resulting from methanolysis of all the ester structural units derived from a cyclic ketene acetal monomer in the copolymer have a molecular weight distribution of 2.0 or less. 3. A light guide film comprising the melt molded article according to claim 1 . 4. A decorative film comprising the melt molded article according to claim 1 . 5. A polarizer protective film comprising the melt molded article according to claim 1 . 6. The melt molded article according to claim 1 , wherein said melt molded article has a tensile strain at break of 8.4% to 32%.
