ABSTRACT:
There is provided a cycloolefin polymer composition comprising 8 to 40% by weight of a cycloolefin polymer [A] and 92 to 60% by weight of a cycloolefin polymer [B], both having specific properties, wherein a difference .DELTA.n.sub.D =.vertline.n.sub.D (A)-n.sub.D (B).vertline. between the refractive index n.sub.D (A) of the polymer [A] and the refractive index n.sub.D (B) of the polymer [B] is not more than 0.015. This composition is excellent in impact resistance, transparency and heat resistance, and has a good balance of these properties.
There is also provided a cycloolefin copolymer composition comprising 8 to 40% by weight of a cycloolefin elastomer component [Aa] of an .alpha.-olefin, a specific cycloolefin and a non-conjugated diene which contains a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond; and 92 to 60% by weight of a cycloolefin copolymer component [Ba] which is obtained by copolymerizing an .alpha.-olefin and a specific cycloolefin in the presence of the elastomer component [Aa]; wherein a difference .DELTA.n.sub.D =.vertline.n.sub.D (A)-n.sub.D (B).vertline. between the refractive index n.sub.D (Aa) of the component [Aa] and the refractive index n.sub.D (Ba) of the component [Ba] is not more than 0.015. This composition has excellent properties inherent in a cycloolefin random copolymer and is improved especially in impact resistance without tranding off its transparency.
There is also provided a cycloolefin copolymer composition comprising 8 to 40% by weight of a cycloolefin elastomer component [A.alpha.] of an .alpha.-olefin and a specific cycloolefin which substantially contains no polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond; and 92 to 60% by weight of a cycloolefin copolymer component [B.alpha.] which is obtained by copolymerizing an .alpha.-olefin and a specific cycloolefin in the presence of the elastomer component [A.alpha.]; wherein a difference .DELTA.n.sub.D =.vertline.n.sub.D (A)-n.sub.D (B).vertline. between the refractive index n.sub.D (A.alpha.) of the component [A.alpha.] and the refractive index n.sub.D (B.alpha.) of the component [B.alpha.] is not more than 0.015. This composition has also excellent properties inherent in a cycloolefin random copolymer and is improved particularly in impact resistance without trading off its transparency.
