Process for producing plastic optical member and plastic optical member obtained by said process

摘要

A process for producing a plastic optical member is provided that includes injecting a polymerizable monomer composition into a hollow plastic tube and polymerizing the composition within the hollow tube, wherein prior to injecting the composition one end of the hollow tube is sealed with a resin. The resin may have a composition different from that of the plastic forming the hollow tube. A process for producing a plastic optical fiber base material is also provided that includes injecting a polymerizable monomer composition into a hollow plastic tube and polymerizing the composition within the hollow tube, wherein prior to injecting the composition one end of the hollow tube is sealed with a resin. Furthermore, a process for producing a plastic optical fiber is provided that includes drawing the plastic optical fiber base material obtained by the above process. Moreover, also provided are a plastic optical member and a plastic optical fiber, which are produced by the above processes.
