  • Composite foam molded article, process for production thereof composition
    Patent number: 5744231
    Abstract: An integrally molded composite article comprised of (I) a nonfoam layer formed from a thermoplastic elastomer powder composition (A) and (II) a foam layer formed from a foamable composition comprised of (i)(B) a thermoplastic synthetic resin powder, and (C) a heat decomposable foaming agent or (ii)(B) a thermoplastic synthetic resin powder, (C) a heat decomposable foaming agent and (D) a liquid coating agent, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer powder (A) is comprised of a composition of an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber and a polyolefin resin or a thermoplastic elastomer powder comprised of a partially cross-linked composition of an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber and a polyolefin resin, the thermoplastic elastomer powder having a complex dynamic viscosity .eta.*(1) at 250.degree. C. and a frequency of 1 radian/sec of not more than 1.5.times.10.sup.5 poise and having a Newtonian viscosity index n, calculated by the following formula using the above-mentioned complex dynamic viscosity .eta.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 1996
    Date of Patent: April 28, 1998
    Assignee: Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited

  • Thermoplastic elastomer powder composition for powder molding, powder molding method using the same and molded article thereof
    Patent number: 5585431
    Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer powder composition for powder molding, comprising 100 parts by weight of the following thermoplastic elastomer powder (A) and 0.05 to 20 parts by weight of a fine powder having an average particle diameter of 30 .mu.m or less:(A) (i) a powder of a thermoplastic elastomer comprising a composition composed of an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber and a polyolefin resin or (ii) a powder of a thermoplastic elastomer comprising a partially crosslinked composition composed of an ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer rubber and a polyolefin resin, the thermoplastic elastomer powder having a complex dynamic viscosity .eta.*(1), as measured at a frequency of 1 radian/sec and at 250.degree. C., of 1.5.times.10.sup.5 poise or less and a Newtonian viscosity index n, calculated from the following formula by using the above-mentioned complex dynamic viscosity .eta.*(1) and the complex dynamic viscosity .eta.*(100) measured at a frequency of 100 radian/sec of 0.67 or less:n=(log.eta.*(1)-log.eta.
