Abstract: A functional composition, in which an increase in particle size due to secondary flocculation of particles in a mixed system of a plant-originated functional component (A) and a ceramics component (C) is effectively prevented; a functional resin composition made of the functional composition, which can be applied to various utilities; and a functional molding made of the functional composition, which is superior in deodorizing properties, antimicrobial properties, moldability, post-processing properties such as stretching properties, physical properties, are provided. The functional composition contains a mixture of a plant-originated functional component (A), a finely divided tabular mineral (T) having a low hardness and cleavage, and a ceramics component (C) other than the mineral (T). The functional resin composition contains the foregoing components and a resin (R). The functional molding is made of a molding of the resin (R) having the foregoing components formulated thereinto.

Abstract: A joining type composite molding is disclosed, containing an internal component X and an external component Y, wherein the internal component X is formed from a first resin (H); the external component Y is formed from a second resin (L) compounded with at least one functional component (A) selected from the group consisting of a catechin, a saponin, a tea-leaf powder, a tea-leaf extract and tannin (tannic acid), and a ceramics component (C); and the first resin (H) and the second resin (L) are resins falling into different categories respectively, or a resin of the same category of a non-polyolefinic resin.

Abstract: The invention is aimed to provide a core-sheath type composite filament, in which a functional component is hardly lost due to volatilization during the melt forming; bleeding of the internally added functional component is effectively inhibited; the internally added functional component does not adversely affect spinning properties, stretching properties, strength and dimensional stability; the use of the functional component can be greatly reduced, leading to a reduction of production cost; superior functionalities of deodorizing properties and antimicrobial properties can be exhibited to a maximum extent; even when contacting with water, the functionalities can be kept over a long time; and the composite filament is highly safe to a human body. The invention is also aimed to provide a process for the production of the core-sheath type composite filament as well as a heat fused article obtained from the composite filament.
