Abstract
Abstract A novel thermoplastic resin composition is provided. It has excellent balance in the physical properties and is usable as shaped articles, sheets and films having excellent appearance in uniformity and smoothness. The thermoplastic resin composition is a blend of a resin composition (D) defined below and a copolymer (C) containing epoxy group, said (D) being composed of modified polypropylene by unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof with or without unmodified polypropylene, and polyamide resin. The copolymer (C) is composed of an unsaturated epoxy compound and ethylene, with or without an ethylenically unsaturated compound other than ethylene.
