Abstract: A method for preparing a conductive thermoplastic resin composition or an electric conductor includes the step of kneading (a) conductive resin master batch pellets of conductive carbon black and a thermoplastic resin in which the conductive carbon black accounts for 5 to 50% by weight relative to the total amount 100 parts by weight of the conductive carbon black and the thermoplastic resin, (b) a thermoplastic resin in a weight ratio: (a+b)/(a) ranging from 1.01 to 1.5. This method permits the production of a conductive carbon black-containing conductive resin composition and an electric conductor which show stable conductivity even within a high resistance region (having a surface resistivity ranging from 10.sup.6 to 10.sup.16 .OMEGA.), wherein the control of the conductivity is difficult.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for producing a filler-loaded thermoplastic resin composite by mixing a thermoplastic resin with a filler, making it possible to be applied to molding machine such as extrusion and injection molding machines without the disadvantage of segregation between the resin and the filler otherwise inevitable leading to inferior uniformity of the shaped articles. The invention is characterized by the presence of a fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene during the mixing under mechanical shearing forces, wherein the thermoplastic resin is melted in one case and not melted in other case. The invention is also effective for shaping cellular foamed bodies of a filler-loaded thermoplastic resin with fine and uniform cellular structure.

Abstract: An improved odorless polyolefin resin composition is proposed which is free from the problem of the generation of unpleasant odors unavoidable in the conventional polyolefin resin compositions filled with an inorganic filler due to the oxidative degradation of the ingredients. The deodorant effect in the inventive compositions is obtained by formulating limited amounts of a secondary alkane sulfonate having 12 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule and an organic nitrogen compound having at least one skeletal structure expressed by the formula ##STR1## in a molecule as exemplified by melamine and the like into a polyolefin resin-inorganic filler blend.
