  • Patent number: 8609767
    Abstract: Toughened thermosetting resins comprising thermosetting resins and rubber particles having an average particle size in the range of 20 to 500nm. The toughened resins are obtained by mixing a fully vulcanized powdery rubber having an average particle size in the range of 20 to 500nm with thermosetting resin prepolymers and then curing them. The toughened thermosetting resins comprise rubber phases having a small, uniform and stable particle size, which results in a very significant toughening effect, especially when crazes rapidly grow (as in a standard Izod impact test). The toughened thermosetting resins are excellent in impact resistance, strength, modulus and heat resistance, and when appropriately toughened, the thermosetting resins can be enhanced in terms of impact strength, glass transition temperature and heat distortion temperature.

  • Patent number: 6870003
    Abstract: A process for producing modified thermoplastic resin by subjecting a thermoplastic resin to a modifying reaction in a molten state, comprising performing the modifying reaction using carbon dioxide as the reaction medium, wherein carbon dioxide is used in a proportion of 2-200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin, whereby the efficiency and the uniformity of the reaction can be increased to a high extent while attaining considerable decrease in the remaining amount of the unreacted components in the resulting modified thermoplastic resin without having recourse to the use of an organic reaction solvent, so that the production can be realized easily at a low cost in an efficient manner.
