  • Patent number: 5073447
    Abstract: The polypropylene-based composite resin composition of the invention, which can be molded into a shaped article having excellent surface hardness and impact strength at low temperatures and usable as a shell plate member of automobiles, comprises (a) a polypropylene resin as the matrix phase, (b) particles of rubber-reinforced styrene-based resin as the dispersed phase having a specified area-average particle diameter, of which the rubber particles having a specified area-average particle diameter forms a "salami" structure as dispersed in the styrene-based resin, and (c) a layer of a compatibility improver, such as a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, on the surface of the particles of the rubber-reinforced styrene-based resin in a specified thickness.

  • Patent number: 5030682
    Abstract: Disclosed is a glass fiber reinforced polyolefin resin composition comprising 15-80% by weight of polypropylene, 20-60% by weight of polybutene-1 and 5-60% by weight of glass fiber. This resin composition is excellent in the balance of impact strength, stiffness, heat distortion temperature, surface hardness and processability. When this composition is molded, the molded products have no surface roughness and no color shade and have good appearance. The properties are further improved when a modified polyolefin alone or together with a crystal nucleating agent are added.
