Generally, when extruding a resin which can be melt-molded, if the molding speed is increased to a certain value or more, the surface of the molded product becomes rough. The molding speed corresponds to the shear rate applied to the resin during molding. That is, a resin having a higher critical shear rate (critical shear rate) at which skin roughness occurs during molding can be increased in molding speed, and the resin has excellent moldability. In order to increase the critical shear rate, there is generally a method of reducing the degree of polymerization of the polymer to reduce the melt viscosity,
When the degree of polymerization is reduced, there is a disadvantage that the mechanical strength is reduced.
