Abstract

A thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin (A) containing a unit represented by formula (1) and a thermoplastic resin (B) containing a unit represented by formula (2), wherein in the formula (1), L 1 and L 2 each independently represent a divalent linking group, k and l each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and W represents a divalent linking group; and in the formula (2), L 3 and L 4 each independently represent a divalent linking group, m and n each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, and R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

Claims (14)

1 . A thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin (A) containing a unit represented by formula (1) and a thermoplastic resin (B) containing a unit represented by formula (2),

wherein in the formula (1), L 1 and L 2 each independently represent a divalent linking group, k and 1 each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and W represents a divalent linking group, and

wherein in the formula (2), L 3 and L 4 each independently represent a divalent linking group, m and n each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, and R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms,

wherein W in the formula (1) includes formula (3) or (4),

wherein in the formula (3), L 5 and L 6 each independently represent a divalent linking group, o and p each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, and R 9 , R 10 , R 11 , and R 12 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and

wherein in the formula (4), rings Z are a naphthalene ring, L 7 and L 8 each independently represent a divalent linking group, q and r each independently represent an integer of 0 or more, and R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , and R 16 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and
