C. with respect to a solution of 0.lg of the polymer in 100 ml of chloroform) of the obtained polymer is not higher than 1.4 dl/g, (B) polymerizing 30 to 70 parts by weight of a monomer mixture comprising 20 to 80% by weight of an acrylic acid ester and 80 to 20% by weight of styrene or substituted styrene in the presence of 10 to 60 parts by weight of the polymer obtained at stage (A), so that the reduced viscosity .eta.sp/C of the copolymer obtained by copolymerizing the monomer mixture in the absence of the polymer obtained at stage (A) is not higher than 1 dl/g, and (C) polymerizing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a monomer or monomer mixture comprising, 50 to 100% by weight of a methacrylic acid ester and 0 to 50% by weight of other monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of the two-stage polymer formed through stages (A) and (B), so that the total amount of the components used at stages (A), (B) and (C) is 100 parts by weight and the reduced viscosity .eta.sp/C of the polymer obtained by polymerizing the monomer or monomer mixture in the absence of the two-stage polymer formed through stages (A) and (B) is not higher than 1.5 dl/g.
- 2. The thermoplastic resin composition according to claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic resin is selected from the group consisting of a vinyl chloride resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyolefin resin, a polyester resin, a vinyl fluoride resin, an ABS resin, a styrene resin, and a methacrylic resin.
