Abstract

A resin having a low specific gravity, an excellent impact resistance and a high refractive index can be produced by radical polymerization of a polymerizable monomer mixture composed essentially of [I] at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of specific polyfunctional (meth)acrylates, [II] at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene and alpha-methylstyrene, and [III] at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of unsaturated nitriles. This invention provides an optical material composed of said resin, especially, a lens.
