Abstract: A process for producing a resin compound applicable to precise electronic parts, especially sliding member from thermoplastic engineering plastics is disclosed, comprising compounding (I) a carbon masterbatch comprising polyethylene having a density of not less than 0.92 g/cm.sup.3 and an MI of from 0.1 to 30 g/10 min, conductive carbon black, and talc and (II) a thermoplastic engineering plastic. The carbon black is satisfactorily dispersed to impart satisfactory heat conductivity to a molded article to thereby providing a sliding member with little wear and long durability.

Abstract: A method for production of a shaped body having high mechanical strength, high modulus of elasticity, and good mold-releasing property, the method comprising steps of charging a metal salt of polyacrylic acid in powder form into a shaping mold; and press-forming the powder material into a shaped body under a pressure in a range of from 100 kg/cm.sup.2 to 1,000,000 kg/cm.sup.2.
