Abstract

A cycloolefin copolymer resin composition having well-balanced transparency and impact resistance which comprises (A) a cycloolefin copolymer and (B) 1 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of said cycloolefin copolymer, of at least one rubber-like polymer selected from the group consisting of (B1) an aromatic vinyl-isobutylene copolymer and (B2) an aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer, wherein the difference in refractive index (nD) at 20.degree. C. between the components (A) and (B) is at most 0.015 and the particle size of the component (B) dispersed in the component (A) is from 0.4 to 3 .mu.m. The composition may further contain a core-shell polymer (C), whereby the impact resistance can be further improved. The composition is prepared by kneading the above components at an elevated temperature optionally in the presence of an organic peroxide.
