The resulting spectrum was used to determine the square measure (X) of a region from 0.6 to 0.95 ppm and the square measure (Y) of a region from 0.6 to 1.35 ppm with the spectrum of TMS being taken as 0 ppm, followed by calculation of the triad syndiotacticity (rr) by a formula: (X/Y)100.
(Glass Transition Temperature Tg)
[0114] Using a differential scanning calorimeter (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, DSC-50 (product number)) and according to JIS K7121, a DSC curve was obtained under conditions of increasing the temperature of a methacrylic resin once to 230 C., cooling to room temperature, and then increasing the temperature again from room temperature to 230 C. at 10 C./minute. The midpoint glass transition temperature found from the DSC curve measured at the second increasing temperature was designated as the glass transition temperature Tg.
(Terminal Double Bond Amount)
[0115] A methacrylic resin was dissolved in deuterated chloroform to obtain a solution having a concentration of 15 to 20% by mass. Tris(6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionate)europium was added to the solution at a concentration of 10% by mass relative to the mass of the methacrylic resin. The resulting solution was subjected to integration measurement using NMR (JNM-GX270 manufactured by JEOL Ltd.) over 12 hours. From the resultant .sup.1H-NMR spectrum, the total X.sub.c of the integrated intensity of a signal derived from the terminal double bond part (resonance frequency: 5.5 ppm and 6.2 ppm) and the integrated intensity Y.sub.p of a signal derived from a methoxy group in a methyl methacrylate main chain (resonance frequency: 3.6 ppm) were measured, and the terminal double bond amount D.sub.p [% by mole] of the methacrylic resin was calculated by the following formula.

[0116] A methacrylic resin was dissolved in chloroform to obtain a solution, and this solution was added to n-hexane to obtain a precipitate. The obtained precipitate was dried under vacuum at 80 C. for not less than 12 hours. An appropriate amount of the dried product was precisely weighed, and set to a sulfur combustion apparatus and decomposed in a reaction furnace at 400 C., the generated gas was allowed to pass through a 900 C. furnace, and then absorbed by 0.3% hydrogen peroxide solution. The resultant liquid was appropriately diluted with pure water, and sulfuric acid ion was quantified by ion chromatography (ICS-1500 manufactured by DIONEX, column: AS12A). Mass W.sub.p (% by mass) of sulfur atom per mass of the dried product was calculated. Then, the amount S.sub.p of the bonded sulfur atom (% by mole) was calculated by the following formula.

After allowing to cool, ion exchanged water was added to the resultant liquid to obtain 20 ml of solution. Quantitative analysis of the metal element for the resultant solution was performed using an ICP luminescent spectroscopic analyzer (Vista Pro manufactured by SII). The content of metal element (part by mass) relative to methacrylic resin 100 parts by mass was calculated.
(Thermogravimetric Retention)
[0118] Using a thermogravimetric analyzer (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, TGA-50 (product number)), mass change of a methacrylic resin composition was recorded under conditions of increasing the temperature from 50 C. to 290 C. at 20 C./min under a nitrogen atmosphere at a nitrogen flow rate of 50 ml/min, and then maintaining the temperature at 290 C. for 20 minutes under nitrogen atmosphere. On the basis of the mass (X.sub.1c) at 50 C. (thermogravimetric retention: 100% by mass), based on the mass (X.sub.2c) when maintaining at 290 C. for 15 minutes, the thermal decomposition resistance was evaluated according to the following formula.

During the film formation, observation of roll smudges was performed. The observation for roll smudges was performed by visual examination of the surface of a metal roll as the film was being sent forward. Evaluation was performed based on the lapse of time from the start of the forming until the occurrence of white haze on the entire surface of the roll.

(Production Example 1) (Production of Methacrylic Resin [A-a])
[0123] A 5-L glass reaction vessel equipped with a stirring blade and a three-way cock was purged with nitrogen. At room temperature, 1600 g of toluene, 80 g of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 73.3 g (42.3 mmol) of a 0.45-M solution of isobutyl bis(2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenoxy)aluminum in toluene, and 8.44 g (14.1 mmol) of a 1.3-M solution of sec-butyllithium in a solvent comprising 95% of cyclohexane and 5% of n-hexane were charged in the vessel. Thereto while stirring at 15 C. to 20 C., 550 g of purified methyl methacrylate was added dropwise over 30 minutes. After completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was performed at 15 C. for 90 minutes. The color of the solution turned from yellow to colorless. At this point, the polymerization conversion of methyl methacrylate was 100%.
[0124] Next, the following purification was performed so that the amount of Al element was 410.sup.4 to 110.sup.3 part by mass and the amount of Li element was 310.sup.5 to 510.sup.4 part by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin.
[0125] Firstly, to the resulting solution, toluene was added for dilution. Then, the diluted solution was poured in a large amount of methanol to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate was removed from the liquid by filtration, and was then washed several times. The resulting precipitate was dried at 80 C. and 140 Pa for 24 hours to obtain a methacrylic resin [A-a] having Mw of 68000, Mw/Mn of 1.06, a syndiotacticity (rr) of 73%, a glass transition temperature of 130 C., and a content of structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate of 100% by mass. In the methacrylic resin [A-a], relative to 100 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin, the amount of Al element was 510.sup.4 part by mass (5 ppm), and the amount of Li element was 0.510.sup.4 part by mass (0.5 ppm).

In the raw material liquid, nitrogen was introduced for removing oxygen dissolved in the raw material liquid.
[0127] From the autoclave, the raw material liquid was fed to the tank reactor to be placed up to capacity of the tank reactor. With the temperature maintained at 140 C., a polymerization reaction was initiated in a batch mode. When the conversion reached 55% by mass, the raw material liquid was continuously fed from the autoclave to the tank reactor, while the reaction product solution was discharged from the tank reactor at a flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of the raw material liquid being fed. In this way, the polymerization reaction was switched to a continuous-flow mode for mean residence time of 150 minutes and at a temperature of 140 C. The polymerization conversion in a steady state of the continuous-flow mode was 52% by mass.
[0128] The liquid discharged from the tank reactor was fed to a multitubular heat exchanger at an internal temperature of 230 C. at a flow rate such that the mean residence time was 2 minutes, and warmed. The warmed liquid was introduced in a flash evaporator for removal of volatile matter mainly comprising unreacted monomer to obtain a molten resin. The molten resin was fed in a devolatizing twin screw extruder equipped with vent at an internal temperature of 260 C., and was extruded in a form of a strand. The resulting strand was cut with a pelletizer to obtain a methacrylic resin [A-b] having Mw of 82000, Mw/Mn of 1.92, a syndiotacticity (rr) of 51%, a glass transition temperature of 120 C., and a content of structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate of 100% by mass. In the methacrylic resin [A-b], the amount of Al element was 0 part by mass, and the amount of Li element was 0 part by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin.
(Production Example 3) (Production of Methacrylic Resin [A-c])
[0129] A methacrylic resin [A-c] was produced by mixing and kneading 20 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin [A-a] and 80 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin [A-b], and extruding the resultant product at 260 C. with the use of a twin screw extruder (manufactured by Technovel Corporation, trade name: KZW20TW-45MG-NH-600). In the methacrylic resin [A-c], the amount of Al element was 110.sup.4 part by mass (1 ppm), and the amount of Li element was 0.110.sup.4 part by mass (0.1 ppm) relative to 100 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin.

In the raw material liquid, nitrogen was introduced for removing oxygen dissolved in the raw material liquid.
[0131] From the autoclave, the raw material liquid was fed to the tank reactor to be placed up to capacity of the tank reactor. With the temperature maintained at 180 C., a polymerization reaction was initiated in a batch mode. When the polymerization conversion reached 55% by mass, the raw material liquid was fed from the autoclave to the tank reactor, while the liquid was discharged from the tank reactor at a flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of the raw material liquid being fed. Thus, a continuous-flow mode polymerization reaction was performed for mean residence time of 150 minutes at a temperature of 180 C. The polymerization conversion in a steady state of the continuous-flow mode was 55% by mass.
[0132] The liquid discharged from the tank reactor was fed in a multitubular heat exchanger at an internal temperature of 230 C. at a flow rate such that the mean residence time was 2 minutes, and warmed. The warmed liquid was charged in a flash evaporation apparatus for removal of volatile matter mainly comprising unreacted monomer to obtain a molten resin. The molten resin was fed into a devolatizing twin screw extruder equipped with vent at an internal temperature of 260 C., and was extruded in the form of a strand. The resulting strand was cut with a pelletizer to obtain a methacrylic resin [A-d] having Mw of 87000, Mw/Mn of 1.78, a syndiotacticity (rr) of 48%, a glass transition temperature of 117 C., and a content of structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate of 98.5% by mass. In the methacrylic resin [A-d], the amount of Al element was 0 part by mass, and the amount of Li element was 0 part by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the methacrylic resin.

After completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was performed at 15 C. for 90 minutes. The color of the solution turned from yellow to colorless. At this point, the polymerization conversion of methyl methacrylate was 100%.
[0134] The resultant solution was dried at 130 C. and at 140 Pa for 24 hours, and then the resultant product was fed into a devolatizing twin screw extruder equipped with vent at an internal temperature of 260 C. to be extruded in the form of strand. The resulting strand was cut with a pelletizer to obtain a methacrylic resin [A-e] having Mw of 68000, Mw/Mn of 1.06, a syndiotacticity (rr) of 73%, a glass transition temperature of 130 C., and a content of structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate of 100% by mass.
