Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:An optical material excellent in transparency, water resistance, thermal properties, processability, etc., comprising a polymer obtained by hydrogenating a ring-opening polymer comprising a tetracyclododecene (derivative) and a norbornene (derivative). CONSTITUTION:A ring-opening polymer comprising 100-50mol% units of tetracyclododecene or derivative thereof and 0-50mol% units of norbornene or derivative thereof, represented by the formula (wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each H or lower alkyl, or the like, and X/Y is 100/0-50/50 (molar ratio) is prepared by a usual polymerization process for a cyclic olefin. This polymer is hydrogenated in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst (e.g., nickel/silica). The purpose optical material is made from the obtained hydrogenated polymer as a constituent. This optical material is suitably used for optical recording materials such as video disks or computer disks.
