  • Natural rubber-containing thermoplastic resin composition and molded article thereof
    Patent number: 9701820
    Abstract: A natural rubber-containing thermoplastic resin composition includes a graft copolymer (A) obtained by graft-polymerizing a vinyl monomer mixture (a) including at least an aromatic vinyl monomer to a rubbery polymer (R) composed of 10 to 70% by mass of a natural rubber having a weight average particle size of 0.3 to 1.2 ?m and 30 to 90% by mass of a synthetic rubber having a weight-average particle size of 0.2 to 0.4 ?m, wherein particles of the natural rubber include not less than 5% by mass of natural rubber articles with a size of 1.0 ?m or larger; and particles of the rubbery polymer (R) with a size of 1.0 ?m or larger have an internal graft ratio of 20% or higher.
    Type: Grant

  • Table tennis ball and table tennis ball-use thermoplastic resin composition
    Patent number: 9623288
    Abstract: A table tennis ball faithfully reproduces the playing characteristics of celluloid table tennis balls without using celluloid, and a thermoplastic resin composition for table tennis balls provides a table tennis ball having an excellent balance of elastic modulus, impact resistance, and density. The table tennis ball is composed of a celluloid-free thermoplastic resin or thermoplastic resin composition having a flexural modulus according to ISO 178 of 1650 MPa or more, a Charpy impact strength according to ISO 179 of 20 kJ/m2 or more, and a density according to ISO 1183 of less than 1.20 g/cm3, has a diameter of 39.0 mm or more, and weighs 2.0 to 3.5 g.
