  • Patent number: 9840615
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a thermoplastic resin composition which exhibits excellent rigidity, while having excellent impact strength characteristics; and a method for producing the thermoplastic resin composition. This thermoplastic resin composition, wherein a polyolefin resin contains a polyamide resin that is dispersed therein, is characterized in that: the thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by melting and kneading a polyolefin resin and a mixed resin that is obtained by melting and kneading a polyamide resin and a compatibilizer; and the compatibilizer is a modified elastomer that is obtained by providing an elastomer (such as an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer or a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer) with a reactive group that is reactive with the polyamide resin.

  • Patent number: 9493642
    Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition contains a polyamide resin that is dispersed therein, is characterized in that the thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by melting and kneading a polyolefin resin and a mixed resin obtained by melting and kneading a polyamide resin and a compatibilizer; and the compatibilizer is a modified elastomer that is obtained by providing an elastomer (such as an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer or a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer) with a reactive group that is reactive with the polyamide resin. Also, a thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by melting and kneading from 1% by mass to 80% by mass (inclusive) of a plant-derived polyamide resin such as polyamide 11, from 5% by mass to 75% by mass (inclusive) of a polyolefin resin and from 1% by mass to 30% by mass (inclusive) of a compatibilizer that is an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer that is modified with an acid.

  • Patent number: 9353251
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic resin composition having excellent rigidity and impact strength and a method for producing the same. The thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by mixing a polyolefin resin (such as a polypropylene resin), a polyamide resin (such as nylon 11 resin), and a compatibilizer (such as maleic anhydride-modified EPR, maleic anhydride-modified EBR). The thermoplastic resin composition is characterized in having a resin phase separate structure as observed under an electron microscope, wherein the resin phase separate structure consists of a continuous phase and a disperse phase which is dispersed in the continuous phase, there is a microdisperse phase in the disperse phase, and the average diameter of the microdisperse phase is 5 to 1,200 nm.

  • Patent number: 9249300
    Abstract: A resin composition has a first resin, a second resin incompatible with the first, and a modified elastomer having a reactive group capable of reacting with the first resin. The resin composition has a co-continuous phase structure including continuous phases A and B respectively formed of the first and second resins, dispersed domains a and b respectively distributed in the continuous phases A and B, and finely dispersed subdomains a? and b? respectively distributed in the dispersed domains a and b. The dispersed domain a includes a dispersed domain formed of at least one of the second resin and a first resin, modified elastomer reaction product, the dispersed domain b at least one of the first resin and the reaction product, and the finely dispersed subdomains a? and b? each independently at least one of the first resin, the second resin, the modified elastomer, and the reaction product.
