Abstract

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a modified methacrylic resin molding material, wherein a volatile component is removed from a methacrylic polymer composition containing a volatile component including an unreacted monomer, a solvent or a by-product, and a modifying polymer is added to the methacrylic polymer composition to prepare a modified molding material. The removal of a volatile component from the methacrylic polymer composition and the addition and kneading of a modifying polymer into this polymer composition can be performed at a high efficiency by a process wherein a volatile component-removing extruder comprising a plurality of vent zones and a modifying polymer supply mechanism arranged upstream of the final vent zone but preferably downstream of the adjacent vent zone is used, the modifying polymer is fed from the modifying polymer supply mechanism and incorporated into the methacrylic polymer composition continuously flowing in the volatile component-removing extruder, and the volatile component is removed from the obtained mixture in the final vent zone and the mixture is then extruded.
