Abstract: Resin-adhered graphite particles are obtained by causing a modified novolac-type phenolic resin to adhere to graphite particles. At least part of surfaces of the graphite particles is coated with a carbonaceous coating by heating the resin-adhered graphite particles in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at 900 to 1,500° C. to carbonize the modified novolac-type phenolic resin. Arylene groups having hydroxy groups account for 5 to 95 mol % of arylene groups constituting the modified novolac-type phenolic resin. The obtained carbonaceous substance-coated graphite particles exhibit excellent battery properties when used as a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery.

Abstract: There are provided a resin composition having excellent wear properties and high flame retardancy, and a resin molding that results from melt molding of such composition. The resin composition is essentially comprised of: (A) a polycarbonate resin; (B) a modified polyolefin resin; (C) a compound represented by HOOC—R—NH2 where R is an alkylene, alkylidene, oligomethylene, phenylene or naphthylene group having 5 or more carbon atoms, respectively, wherein each of the phenylene and naphthylene groups may have substituent group; and (D) a specific phosphate ester.

Abstract: A glass fiber reinforced polymer which excels in mechanical properties and is suitable for use in a large-sized structural members, formed from a dispersion liquid by dispersing reinforcement glass fibers and particulate thermoplastic resin in a surfactant-containing aqueous medium in which bubbles of air are dispersed, forming a sheet-like web on a porous support plate, and applying heat and pressure to form a sheet. The reinforcement glass fibers include a silane coupling agent while the matrix resin has functional groups bonded to the silane coupling agent. The concentration of said functional groups is higher in the regions adjacent the surfaces of said reinforcement glass fibers than in regions farther removed therefrom, and said concentration progressively decreases in the direction away from said reinforcement glass fibers.
