Abstract
Abstract A polyphenylene ether resin composition comprising (A) a polyphenylene ether resin, (B) a polystyrene resin, and (C) a graft copolymer prepared by graft-polymerizing one or more vinyl monomers onto a compound rubber having an average particle diameter of 0.08 to 0.6 mu m and a structure wherein 10 to 90% by weight of a polyorganosiloxane rubber component and 90 to 10% by weight of a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate rubber component are tangled with each other so as not to separate, the total amount of the polyorganosiloxane rubber component and the polyalkyl (meth)acrylate rubber component being 100% by weight of the compound rubber. This resin composition provides molded products superior in impact resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and surface appearance and is superior in moldability and flow properties.
