Abstract

A thermoplastic modacrylic resin suitable for producing modacrylic fiber excellent in strength and/or melt spinning stability is provided. The thermoplastic modacrylic resin includes a copolymer. The copolymer includes a polymer (A) that includes a modacrylic resin containing constituent unit 1 derived from acrylonitrile (a1) and constituent unit 2 derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer (a2) other than the acrylonitrile (a1), and a polymer (B) that contains constituent unit 3 derived from acrylonitrile (b1). The polymer (B) has first and second terminals and is bound to the polymer (A) at the second terminal. The polymer (B) has 30 mol % or more to less than 70 mol % of all constituent unit 3 in a terminal region that contains the first terminal and contains one-half of all constituent units in the polymer (B). The constituent unit 3 content is 3 to 50 mol % relative to all constituent units in the polymer (B).
