PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resin composition which prevents the lowering of ductility and impact resistance caused by an increased amount of fine particles added while maintaining other properties such as transparency and achieves a high level balance among various properties traditionally having a trade-off relationship with each other. SOLUTION: The resin composition consists of fine particles and a resin component phase having a phase-separated structure composed of a first resin phase and a second resin phase. The fine particles are dispersed in the first resin phase and not in the second resin phase. The primary particle of the fine particle has a length of the short axis of 1-10 nm and a length of the long axis of 20-700 nm and an aspect ratio of 5-200. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resin composition having excellent mechanical strength such as rigidity or impact resistance, surface hardness, thermal stability and transparency and suitably used as practical organic glass, etc., such as window glass. SOLUTION: The resin composition is obtained as follows. A surface layer having epoxy groups is formed on the surface of inorganic oxide fine particles having ≤380 nm average primary particle diameter and the resultant inorganic oxide fine particles are then compounded in a monomer of a polycarbonate resin to form a polymerization reaction solution. The polycarbonate resin is synthesized from the polymerization reaction solution by a transesterification method. Thereby, the resin composition in which the inorganic oxide fine particles are bound through the surface layer to the polycarbonate resin with covalent bonds and dispersed in the polycarbonate resin is produced.
