Abstract

Abstract A novel thermoplastic resin composition excellent in both mechanical properties and processability is provided which comprises (A) 100 parts by weight of a composition comprising (a) 5-95% by weight of a polyamide having a relative viscosity of 1.6-3.3 and content of end amine group of 35-95 mmole/kg and (b) 95-5% by weight of a polyphenylene ether obtained by oxidation polymerization of at least one phenol compound represented by the formula: <IMAGE> wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 which may be identical or different and represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon residue, with a proviso that at least one of them is a hydrogen atom and (B) 0.01-100 parts by weight of at least one mutual compatibilizer. The compatibilizer may be a modified rubber-like material and/or an epoxy compound.
