BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Methacrylic resins are excellent polymers that are used in large amounts in various industrial fields because they have excellent transparency, weather resistance, gloss and processability. However, its essential drawback is poor impact resistance. Generally, as a method for improving the impact resistance of a methacrylic resin, various methods have been proposed in which a multi-layer structure having a rubber phase is introduced into the methacrylic resin to form a two-phase structure and to develop strength. For example, Japanese Patent Publication Sho 55-275
No. 76, the innermost layer containing methyl methacrylate as a main component is polymerized, and then the second layer containing butyl acrylate as a main component is polymerized in the presence of the innermost layer and further containing methyl methacrylate as a main component. It is described that the outermost layer is polymerized to form a three-layer structure, and this is mixed with a methacrylic resin to improve the impact resistance of the methacrylic resin. However, the unique beautiful appearance of the methacrylic resin, It is unavoidable that the transparency is impaired, and the improvement of impact resistance is also insufficient, and the market demand for a resin composition having sufficient impact resistance while maintaining the appearance and the transparency without impairing it, or In reality, it is hard to say that it has sufficiently satisfied the demands of the market regarding thermal stability during molding.

In order to obtain such a multi-layer structure graft copolymer (B), the above-mentioned combination of initiator species is not used, and for example, an organic peroxide whose initiator residue introduced into the polymer is nonionic. When all of them are used in all the steps, each layer of the multi-layer structure graft copolymer is not clearly formed, so that the rubber-like properties are reduced and the impact resistance of the methacrylic resin composition is significantly reduced. Further, when only the peroxide having an ionic and / or hydroxyl group-containing residue as the initiator residue introduced into the polymer is used in the whole process, impact resistance is higher than that of the multilayer structure graft copolymer of the present invention. Not only is the processability poor, but the beautiful appearance of the methacrylic resin, such as the color tone, is impaired. That is, in some cases, the molded product has a strong coloring property and becomes yellowish.

The reason why a remarkable effect is exhibited by selecting and combining an initiator as in the present invention is not necessarily clear, but it is basically estimated as follows. That is, the innermost layer is mainly composed of methacrylic acid ester, and the second
Since the second layer is mainly composed of acrylic acid ester, the former is higher in terms of water solubility, and if it is somewhat, layer inversion tends to occur during polymerization. Therefore, mixing of the innermost layer and the second layer is likely to occur, and it is difficult to form a clear layer structure. Therefore, it is considered that a clear layer structure is formed by decreasing the water solubility of the innermost layer and increasing the water solubility of the second layer by selecting and combining a specific initiator as in the present invention. .

The polymerization conversion rate at the time of polymerizing the multi-layer structure graft copolymer (B) is 90 at the end of the polymerization of each layer in order to obtain a clear layer structure without the layer structure entering.
% Or more, and more preferably 95% or more. At the end of the polymerization of the multi-layer structure graft copolymer, it is preferably 95% or more, and further 9
It is preferably 8% or more. This is because when a monomer system that forms the next layer is added in a state where the polymerization conversion rate is low and the monomer remains, the clarity of each layer is decreased and the impact resistance and transparency are decreased. The polymerization conversion rate in the present invention is generally determined by a method widely used in this field, and is calculated, for example, by measuring the residual monomer amount and the solid content concentration.
