• RTD-IndNB50 About 150 ml of the solution obtained after the reaction was dropped into 1400 ml of acetone for crystallization, filtered through Kiriyama filter paper (5B), and dried under reduced pressure at 80° C. to obtain 13 g of a polymer.
• this polymer is referred to as RTD-IndNB50.
• RTD-MPNB50 About 150 ml of the solution obtained after the reaction was added dropwise to 1400 ml of acetone for crystallization, filtered through Kiriyama filter paper (5B), and dried under reduced pressure at 80° C. to obtain 13 g of a polymer.
• this polymer is referred to as RTD-MPNB50.
• the precursor polymer shown in Table 1 was obtained by the above method. Then, the obtained precursor polymer was partially hydrogenated or wholly hydrogenated by the following method.
• Example 1 [Production of Cyclic Olefin Polymer P-1 (Partial Hydrogenation)] 13 g of RTD-BNBD50 and 600 ml of o-xylene were placed in a 1 L glass reactor which had been sufficiently replaced with nitrogen, and the mixture was dissolved and heated to 140° C. with stirring and refluxed. Then, 30.5 g of p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide and 23.4 g of tri-n-propylamine were added to start the reaction. After 4 hours from the start of the reaction, the temperature was lowered to room temperature to terminate the reaction, and about 600 ml of a reaction solution was obtained.
• This reaction solution was added dropwise to 1800 ml of acetone for crystallization in the same manner as in the above Production Example, filtered with Kiriyama filter paper (5B), and dried under reduced pressure at 80° C. to obtain 13 g of a polymer.
• this polymer was observed by NMR, the aromatic ring remained, but other double bonds were almost lost.
• Glass transition temperature Tg (°C) It was determined by performing DSC measurement under the following conditions. ⁇ Device: DSC7000 manufactured by SII Nano Technology Co., Ltd. -Measurement conditions: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature was raised from room temperature to 260°C at a rate of 10°C/min, and then held for 5 minutes. Then, the temperature was lowered to 30° C. at a temperature lowering rate of 10° C./min, and then held for 5 minutes. Then, a DSC curve in the process of heating up to 260° C. at a temperature rising rate of 10° C./min was acquired.
• the glass transition temperature the temperature at the point where a straight line that is equidistant from the extended straight line of each baseline in the vertical axis direction and the curve of the stepwise change portion of the glass transition intersect was defined as the glass transition temperature.
• the aromatic ring content in the polymer was calculated.
• the peak area of the hydrogen peak derived from the aromatic ring (6.7 to 7.3 ppm) relative to the total area of all the hydrogen derived peaks detected at 0.5 ppm to 8 ppm by 1 H-NMR manufactured by JEOL Ltd.
• the amount of hydrogen in the aromatic ring contained in the polymer was calculated.
• the internal haze of the obtained square plate test piece having a thickness of 3.0 mm was measured, and the transparency was evaluated according to the following criteria.
• the internal haze was measured in benzyl alcohol using a haze meter (NDH-20D manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.).
• ⁇ Internal haze is less than 6.0%
• ⁇ The test piece is visually cloudy, or the internal haze is 6.0% or more.
