THERMOPLASTIC RESIN COMPOSITION, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THERMOPLASTIC RESIN COMPOSITION, MOLDED MATERIAL, AND LIGHT EMITTING BODY

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing a thermoplastic resin composition, wherein a metal complex (B) in which a ligand (C-1) is coordinated and a ligand (C-2) which has a higher boiling point than the ligand (C-1) at atmospheric pressure are blended into a thermoplastic resin (A) and then the resulting material is heated and mixed at a temperature not less than the boiling point of the ligand (C-1) but not more than the boiling point of the ligand (C-2), so that a light emitting material is dispersed in the thermoplastic resin in a good dispersion state at low cost. Consequently, a thermoplastic resin composition which is capable of providing a light emitting body having excellent transparency and excellent visible light emission characteristics is produced by the above-described method. Also disclosed are: a molded material that is obtained by molding the thermoplastic resin composition; and a light emitting body that is obtained by molding the thermoplastic resin composition.
