Abstract: A reinforced resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a resin component comprising a polycarbonate resin, a thermoplastic polyester resin and an impact modifier in a ratio, by weight, of 90-10:10-90:0-40 and 0.5 to 100 parts by weight of kaolin with a mean particle diameter of 0.1 to 4.0 .mu.m. The composition can be molded by conventional techniques such as injection molding and extrusion molding into automotive parts, electrical or electronic parts and other products excellent in heat resistance, impact resistance, rigidity, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, moldability, weather resistance and thermal stability with a low linear coefficient of expansion and excellent surface gloss and appearance.

Abstract: An unsaturated polyester resin composition comprising:(a) 30 to 99% by weight of an unsaturated polyester resin comprising a crosslinking monomer and an unsaturated alkyd obtained by reacting at least dicyclopentadiene (hereinafter abbreviated as "DCPD"), an unsaturated polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, and(b) 1 to 70% by weight of a hardness adjusting unsaturated polyester resin.Sheets of base material can be impregnated with the resin composition effectively to give a laminate which is satisfactorily punchable at low temperatures and yet has high resistance to thermal softening and outstanding electrical characteristics.

Abstract: An interior finish surface material for automobiles having good heat moldability such as high stretchability, low shrinkability after molding, good feeling of touch and good retainability of embossed pattern and comprising a surface layer and at least one of a base layer and a foam layer provided between said surface layer and said base layer, said surface layer being made from a composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride resin, (B) 20 to 200 parts by weight of at least one of a plasticizer and a thermoplastic elastomer, (C) 2 to 150 parts by weight of an AMBS resin and (D) 0 to 100 parts by weight of an inorganic filler.

Abstract: An unsaturated polyester resin composition is provided comprising a hard unsaturated polyester component, a soft unsaturated polyester component and a cross-linking monomer. The soft polyester component contains a polyoxyalkylene segment having a molecular weight from 600 to 6000 in the backbone thereof and is dispersed in the hard polyester component forming fine particles having a particle size not greater than 4 microns. The resin composition, when cured, exhibits a Tg corresponding to the hard polyester component from 100.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. and another Tg corresponding to the soft polyester component from -100.degree. C. to 0.degree. C.

Abstract: A flame resistant resin composition comprising (a) a synthetic resin, (b) red phosphorus coated with a thermosetting resin and (c) a filler. The coated red phosphorus is useful as a flame retardant for various synthetic resins, particularly thermoplastic polyesters such as polyalkylene terephthalates, and can impart the flame resistance to the resins without impairing heat stability and electric characteristics. The use of the coated rod phosphorus in combination with talc is particularly preferred.

Abstract: A modified polyalkylene terephthalate composition comprising polyalkylene terephthalate and polyoxyalkylene compound having metal salt of organic carboxylic acid. The composition, which can be used as a molding material, has improved workability, high crystallizing rate and excellent mechanical strength.

Abstract: A fire resistant polymer composition comprising 99.9 to 50 parts by weight of a copolymer consisting essentially of 90 to 10 weight percent nuclear-halogenated aromatic vinyl compound, 10 to 90 weight percent cyanized vinyl compound, and 0 to 30 weight percent one or more monomers copolymerizable therewith; 0 to 20 parts by weight rubber-like polymer; and 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of a member selected from the group consisting of iron family compounds, tin compounds, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A process for preparing polyphenylene oxides by oxidizing a nuceus substituted phenol with oxygen in the presence of a basic manganese chelate compound.
