A polymerizable composition includes the reaction product of an isohexide bischloroformate, at least one polyol, allyl alcohol, and, optionally, at least one polychloroformate. An exemplary polymerizable composition includes (a) the transesterification reaction product of an isohexide, diallyl carbonate, and at least one polyol; and (b) organic peroxide. A polymerizate including the polymerizable composition and an optical article including the polymerizable composition are also provided.

Provided is a resin mixture, comprising: polyolefin (A); a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (B); and an acid modified olefin-vinyl carboxylate copolymer (C), wherein the acid modified olefin-vinyl carboxylate copolymer (C) has an olefin content of from 50 to 95 mol %, and a difference between an ethylene content of the saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (B) and the olefin content of the acid modified olefin-vinyl carboxylate copolymer (C) is within a range of from 20 to 70 mol %. This enables to provide a resin mixture that contains polyolefin and an EVOH, and even in continuous melt molding over a long period of time, has a less amount of screw buildup of a degraded material and also is reduced in generation of fish-eyes, cords, and streaks in a molded product obtained therefrom.

The present disclosure provides an aerogel-containing composition including an aerogel, a water-soluble binder, a foaming agent, and a mixture of water and a polar organic solvent as a solvent, and an insulation blanket prepared using the same. In the aerogel-containing composition, the aerogel is uniformly dispersed in the composition, and when preparing a blanket, an insulation blanket having low thermal conductivity and flexibility of low density is prepared without concern of shrinkage of the substrate for a blanket and detachment of the aerogel during a drying process.
