Abstract: A process for producing a polyphenylene sulfide resin with properties of (1) 0.3 wt % or less in the amount of the volatile gas generated when heated and melted at 320° C. in vacuum for 2 hours, (2) 0.3 wt % or less in the ash content achieved when incinerated at 550° C., (3) 4.0 wt % or less in the residue amount achieved when a solution with 1 part by weight of the polyphenylene sulfide resin dissolved in 20 parts by weight of 1-chloronaphthalene is pressure-filtered by a PTFE membrane filter with a pore size of 1 ?m at 250° C. for 5 minutes, and (4) higher than 500 g/10 min in melt flow rate (according to ASTM D-1238-70: measured at a temperature of 315.5° C. and at a load of 5000 g), by acid-treating a polyphenylene sulfide resin in an acid treatment step and subsequently treating it for thermal oxidation in a thermal oxidation step.

Abstract: Tablets of thermoplastic resin and filler, in which the compositional ratio of the two is so controlled that the thermoplastic resin accounts for from 1 to 40% by volume and the filler for from 60 to 99% by volume based on the sum of the two, 100% by volume, are obtained by compression-molding thermoplastic resin powder and filler into the tablets, or melt-kneading thermoplastic resin and filler followed by compression-molding the powder of the resulting composition into the tablets. The filler content thereof is high, heretofore unknown in the art, and the tablets efficiently exhibit the properties of the filler therein.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition which comprises 100 parts by weight of thermoplastic resin as component (A) which is at least one species selected styrene resin, polycarbonate resin, and polyphenylene ether resin, and 0.5-100 parts by weigh of liquid crystalline polymer as component (B), said thermoplastic resin as component (A) having a glass transition point the rate of change of which satisfies the equation (1) below. Rate of change (%)=|(TgA−TgT)/TgA|×100≦5  (1) where TgA is the glass transition point of the thermoplastic resin as component (A), and TgT is the glass transition point attributable to the thermoplastic resin as component (A) in the resin composition.

Abstract: A polyamide resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a polyamide resin, from 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of a liquid-crystalline resin, and from 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of an acid anhydride all the time has good fluidity even when it is left for a relatively long period of residence time in a cylinder of a molding machine while it is molded, and has good moldability. The amount of cushion resin needed for molding the composition fluctuates little, and the failure such as cobwebbing in molding the composition is reduced. The moldings of the composition have good impact resistance and good outward appearance. The composition is most suitable to producing box-type moldings with thin-wall parts.

Abstract: A liquid crystalline resin which comprises at least one kind of liquid crystalline polymer selected from liquid crystalline polyester and liquid crystalline polyester amide, both forming an anisotropic molten phase, and an inorganic phosphorus compound, said liquid crystalline resin having an absorbance of 0.5 or less at 380 nm when measured over an optical path length of 10 mm in a 0.5 wt % solution in a 1:1 mixed solvent of pentafluorophenol and chloroform (by weight). It is useful as engineering plastics because of improved color, heat resistance, and hydrolytic resistance.
