Acrylic copolymer and optical film including the same

Abstract

Provided are a heat resistant, high strength acrylic copolymer and an optical film including the same, and more particularly, an acrylic copolymer polymerized by including (1) an alkyl(meth)acrylate-based monomer excluding a tert-butyl(meth)acrylate-based monomer, (2) a (meth)acrylate-based monomer including an aliphatic ring and/or an aromatic ring, and (3) a tert-butyl(meth)acrylate-based monomer. The acrylic copolymer according to the present invention has excellent heat resistance as well as transparency being maintained. Also, the optical film including a compounding resin including the acrylic copolymer has excellent transparency, heat resistance, processability, adhesiveness, retardation properties, and durability.
