Abstract

To provide a decorative sheet including a transparent resin layer having high transparency and excellent surface scratch resistance from the viewpoint of the design properties and a transparent resin sheet. A decorative sheet ( 1 ) according to one aspect of the present invention has a transparent resin layer ( 4 ) containing a crystalline polypropylene resin as the main component, in which a value of a peak area ratio x represented by the following expression (1) of the transparent resin layer ( 4 ) is x≥0.4. Herein, S040, S130, and Sam in the following expression (1) are peak areas determined from an X-ray diffraction spectrum obtained by measuring the transparent resin layer with an X-ray diffractometer, S040 is the peak area from the Miller index (040) of polypropylene α crystals, S130 is the peak area from the Miller index (130) of the polypropylene α crystals, and Sam is the peak area of an amorphous material. Peak ⁢ ⁢ area ⁢ ⁢ ratio ⁢ ⁢ x = ( S ⁢ ⁢ 040 + S ⁢ ⁢ 130 ) ( Sam ) ( 1 )

Claims (96)

1. A decorative sheet comprising:

a transparent resin layer containing a crystalline polypropylene resin as a main component,

a nano-sized nucleating agent contained in the transparent resin layer,

the nano-sized nucleating agent is contained in the transparent resin layer in a state where the nucleating agent is encapsulated in a vesicle having a monolayer outer membrane,

wherein

a value of a peak area ratio x represented by a following expression (1) of the transparent resin layer is x≥0.4,

S040, S130 and Sam in the following expression (1) are peak areas calculated from an X-ray diffraction spectrum obtained by measuring the transparent resin layer by an X-ray diffractometer using Cu for an X-ray source, S040 represents a peak area from a Miller index (040) of polypropylene α crystals, S130 represents a peak area from a Miller index (130) of the polypropylene α crystals, and Sam represents a peak area of an amorphous material,
