Abstract

A transparent plastic article with less internal strain is produced by successively polymerizing a monomer part by part with forming a gel state part between the already polymerized part and the unpolymerized part, or by polymerizing a monomer by means of a mold which can follow cure shrinkage of the monomer in order to decrease cure shrinkage. The article produced is particularly suitable for optical applications such as an optical disc, a lens and a prism.
