Abstract: A method of producing a thermoplastic resin composition containing a thermoplastic synthetic resin and a cellulose, in which at least one type of the thermoplastic synthetic resin is a resin having a group containing a partial structure of an acid anhydride in the polymer molecule; a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin; and a method of producing a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition, containing a thermoplastic synthetic resin, a cellulose in the content of 10 to 70 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic synthetic resin, and an organic peroxide, in which the tensile strength of a resin composed of the thermoplastic resin composition measured in conformity with JIS K7161 is 40 MPa or more; a cellulose-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition; a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin; and a method of producing a cellulose-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition or a molded article.

Abstract: A polyolefin resin composition, containing: a polyolefin resin; and cellulose microfibrils, in which a content of the cellulose microfibrils is 0.5 to 20 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of an entire resin component in the polyolefin resin composition, a molded article and a back door for a vehicle.

Abstract: A fired precast block prevents itself from dropping off early due to corrosion and increases service life of a blast furnace runner, etc. when used in a very vulnerable portion of the blast furnace runner, etc., and can be produced at low costs. The fired precast block has an upper surface to contact molten metal or slag, a lower surface opposing the upper surface, and a plurality of side surface. The fired precast block is used by being embedded in a castable in such a manner that the upper surface is exposed from the castable and the lower surface and the plurality of side surfaces contact the castable. Each side surface of at least one opposing pair of side surfaces includes a planar portion and an uneven portion. The uneven portion has at least one groove-shaped concave portion.

Abstract: A polyolefin-based thermoplastic elastomer and a crosslinked body of the same which can undergo a silane-crosslinking process excellent in productivity and have a rubber property required as a substitute material for EPDM is disclosed herein and can use a silane-crosslinkable ethylene-propylene copolymer characterized in that an organic peroxide (B) and a silane coupling agent (C) are compounded with an ethylene-propylene copolymer resin (A) which comprises 5 to 25% by mass of an ethylene component and 75 to 95% by mass of a propylene component, and whose MFR measured at 230° C. and with a load of 2.16 kg applied is 20.0 g/10 min or less. and further a compounded amount of the organic peroxide is 0.1 to 0.6 pts. mass based on 100 pts. mass of the ethylene-propylene copolymer resin (A) and a one-minute half-life temperature of the organic peroxide is 175.2° C. or less.
