In producing such hydrogenated products, generally, norbornene-based ring-opening polymers are hydrogenated in a solvent using a catalyst, the catalyst is removed, and then the polymer solution is added with at least the same amount of poor solvent as the solvent. Usually, a method is employed in which the product is brought into contact with 2 to 3 times as much ketone or alcohol to precipitate, isolate, and dry (for example, JP-A-1-138257).

In addition to the problem of complicated operation, there is also the problem that foreign substances are likely to be mixed into the hydrogenated product. The cause of foreign matter contamination is that foreign matter in the solvent used for polymer precipitation gets mixed into the polymer, and dust gets mixed in as foreign matter during the transfer operation in the process of separating and drying the precipitated polymer.1 Removal of polymerization catalysts and hydrogenation catalysts. For example, it is incomplete.

When used as an optical material, especially as an information recording medium such as an optical disk, it is known that foreign matter in the resin has a close correlation with defects in recorded signals. (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-90345) It is undesirable to use a polymer with a high content of foreign substances as an optical material for an optical recording medium because it causes noise and signal errors during reproduction of recorded signals.
Conventional methods cannot avoid contamination of foreign matter, and it has been desired to realize a polymer with a lower foreign matter content and a method for producing the same.

As is clear from Table Il1, the optical disk substrate of the present invention has small double chipping, no micro voids or silver streaks, and when an antioxidant is added, there is no molecular weight reduction during molding, and it can be used for a long time. Does not cause coloring. On the other hand, in the control example with a high content of volatile components, microvoids were generated at the outer periphery of the optical disk substrate.
This may be accompanied by bubbles, which is a serious problem especially when producing large optical disk substrates.

[Example 7]! Optical display substrates obtained using the materials shown in Table 2 were ultrasonically cleaned with isopropyl alcohol in a clean room and then dried with Freon vapor. After that, using RF magnetron sputtering equipment manufactured by Japan Vacuum Technology Co., Ltd., 5i3Na/dbFecolsi was used as a recording film.
A three-layer 3Na film (II thickness of each layer was 500 angstroms) was formed.
