Abstract
Abstract An optical material comprising a thermal resisting fluoroalkylmethacrylate copolymer which essentially consists of (a) fluorine-containing methacrylate monomer unit of the formula <IMAGE> wherein Rf1 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and (b) a fluorine-containing acrylate monomer unit of the formula <IMAGE> wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group and Rf2 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An optical material comprising a thermal resisting fluoroalkylmethacrylate copolymer which essentially consists of: (a) about 70 to about 99 mol % of fluorine-containing methacrylate monomer unit of the formula ##STR7## wherein R f 1 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and (b) about 1 to about 30 mol % of a fluorine-containing acrylate monomer unit of the formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group and R f 2 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An optical material comprising a thermal resisting fluoroalkylmethacrylate copolymer which essentially consists of: (a) about 70 to about 99 mol % of fluorine-containing methacrylate monomer unit of the formula ##STR7## wherein R f 1 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and (b) about 1 to about 30 mol % of a fluorine-containing acrylate monomer unit of the formula ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group and R f 2 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An optical material according to claim 1 wherein R f 1 is trifluoromethyl-, pentafluoroethyl-, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl or 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
