Abstract
In the present invention, an episulfide compound having, in one molecule, at least one epithio structure represented by the following Formula 2:wherein R5 is C1–C10 hydrocarbylene or single bond, R6, R7 and R8 are each independently C1–C10 hydrocarbyl or hydrogen, Y is O, S, Se or Te, p is an integer from 1 to 5 and q is an integer from 0 to 5,is polymerized in the presence of a halide of a 13–16 group element of the long periodic table and/or a polymerization regulator represented by the following Formula 1:wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each C1–C10 hydocarbyl or hydrogen, R4 is C1–C10 hydrocarbylene or single bond, X is F, Cl, Br, I, As, SH, OH, C1–C10 alkoxyl, C1–C10 alkylthio, or C1–C10 mercaptoalkythio, and m is an integer from 1 to 5,to produce a cured resin suitable as an optical material. By using the polymerization regulator, the polymerization rate of the episulfide compound can be suitably regulated to obtain a cured resin with less defect. By using the halide, the increase in the viscosity of the starting composition during the storage or the casting operation can be prevented.
