Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a resin ahving a high refractive index which comprises radically polymerizing a material monomer, characterized in that said material monomer comprises [I] at least one polymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of a polyfunctional thioacrylate and a polyfunctional thiomethacrylate (as an indispensable component), and optionally [II] at least one other polymerizable monomer which is radically polymerizable with said polymerizable monomer [I], a resin having a high refractive index produced by said process and optical materials, especially lenses and disk substrates prepared from said resin.
