  • Publication number: 20090163674
    Abstract: A polyester-series resin composition comprises (A) a polyester block copolymer and (C) a polycarbodiimide compound, and if necessary (B) a polyepoxy compound. The copolymer (A) is obtainable by reaction of (a1) a crystalline aromatic polyester and (a2) a lactone, and if necessary (a3) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a polycarboxylic acid or an ester-formable derivative thereof and a polyol or an ester-formable derivative thereof in the presence of a phosphorous ester. Such a resin composition is particularly excellent in recycling efficiency and is useful for blow molding. The resin composition has a high hydrolysis resistance and an excellent heat resistance (particularly thermal cycling resistance).

  • Patent number: 6903165
    Abstract: A process for producing an epoxidized diene polymer includes: dispersing or suspending a diene polymer (C) having a ball-reduced particle size of 0.05-20 mm in a medium (A) in the presence of powder particles (B) insoluble in the medium (A), or in an aqueous medium in the presence of a phenol-based stabilizer and/or a phosphorus-based stabilizer; and epoxidizing the diene polymer (C) by an epoxidizing agent, therefore, problems associated with epoxidation performed by dissolving diene polymer in a solvent are eliminated; an economical method for epoxidizing, producing, and purifying a diene polymer (C) in a solid form is provided; and the epoxidized diene polymer having an excellent heat stability can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6797386
    Abstract: A coated molding comprising a molding of a thermoplastic resin composition including a thermoplastic resin and an epoxidized diene based block copolymer, and a coating layer formed on a surface of the molding, the thermoplastic resin composition including a thermoplastic resin and an epoxidized diene based block copolymer obtained by epoxidizing a diene based block copolymer or a partially hydrogentated diene based block copolymer, wherein prior to epoxidizing, the diene based block copolymer or partially hydrogenated diene based block copolymer consists of a polymer block consisting of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon compound, and a polymer block consisting of a conjugate diene compound or a partially hydrogenated conjugate diene compound. The thus obtained coating layer is thereby firmly adhered to a molding of the thermoplastic resin composition.

  • Publication number: 20030125464
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising as essential ingredients (A) 80 to 95 wt % of a noncrystalline cyclic polyolefin and (B) 20 to 5 wt % of an epoxidized diene-based block copolymer. The composition gives a noncrystalline cyclic polyolefin-based sheet which has a degree of heat distortion ratio of 5% or lower at a thermal welding temperature of 95 to 160° C. The sheet is excellent in moldability, dimensional stability, and strength in welding bonding and is excellent also in impact resistance, flexural resistance, and processability for embossing.
