Patent ID: 8036511

Claim:
A resin composition for an optical material, comprising: (A) at least one of an alkali-soluble acrylate polymer and an alkali-soluble methacrylate polymer each containing a maleimide skeleton in a main chain; (B) a polymerizable compound; and (C) a polymerization initiator, wherein the main chains of (A) the alkali-soluble acrylate polymer and the alkali-soluble methacrylate polymer include repeating units (A-1) and (A-2) represented by the following general formulae (1) and (2) and at least one of repeating units (A-3) and (A-4) represented by the following general formulae (3) and (4): where R 1 to R 3 each independently represent any of a hydrogen atom and an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; where R 4 to R 6 each independently represent any of a hydrogen atom and an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 7 represents an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; where R 7 to R 9 each independently represent any of a hydrogen atom and an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; where R 10 to R 12 and X 1 each independently represent any of a hydrogen atom and an organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
