The present invention aims to provide a method for improving the fluidity of a crystal nucleating agent for polyolefin resins without impairing other properties, and a polyolefin resin composition containing the crystal nucleating agent with improved fluidity and having excellent properties including transparency, and a molded article thereof. Adjustment to specific characteristics can improve the fluidity of a crystal nucleating agent for polyolefin resins, and the use of such a crystal nucleating agent having specific characteristics remarkably improves the workability during molding processing and provides a polyolefin resin composition excellent in properties such as transparency, and a molded article thereof.

A process for the synthesis of a granular polymer, the process comprising (a) providing an active polymerization mixture that includes polymer, monomer, catalyst and optional solvent; (b) introducing a hydroxy-containing diaryl acetyl compound to the active polymerization mixture to thereby provide an inactive polymer mixture; (c) separating the polymer solution into a first stream and a second stream, where the first stream includes the polymer and the hydroxy-containing diaryl acetyl compound, and the second stream includes the monomer and the optional solvent; and (d) fabricating granules from the first stream.

A method for manufacturing a device including a substrate and a second film disposed above the substrate includes: forming a first film above the substrate using a composition containing a polymerizable monomer and an oxidation inhibitor; and forming the second film by curing the first film in a state where at least one part of a mold having a convexo-concave pattern is in contact with the first film, or after at least one part of the mold is brought into contact with the first film. The oxidation inhibitor is at least one of a hindered amine compound and a hindered phenol compound having a molecular weight of 700 or more. The composition satisfies a relationship of (t.sub.0(T)−t.sub.x(T))/t.sub.0(T)×100≤13.0. (t.sub.0(T) is a height of a convex part of cured film obtained by the specific method, and t.sub.x(T) is the corresponding height after heating at 260° C.)
