Thermoplastic resin composition

Claim 1

A thermoplastic resin composition comprising: (A) a dipersing phase of 1-65 percent by weight of polyphenylene ether having a reduced viscosity of 0.4-0.60 measured in chloroform solution at 25° C. obtained by oxidation polymerization of at least one phenyl compound represented by the formula: ##STR7## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon residues wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 is a hydrogen atom, (B) a matrix phase of 35-98.9% by weight of polyamide resin, and (c) 0.1-50% by weight of a mutual compatibilizer compatible with (A) and (B), wherein the average particle size diameter in said dispersing phase (A) is 0.1-1.8 microns, and said mutual compatibilizer (C) is at least one member selected from the group consisting of (C)(1) compound containing, in the molecule, at least one carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, acid amide group, imide group, carboxylate group, amino group, isocyanate group, oxazoline ring-containing group and hydroxyl group, (C)(2) epoxy compound and (C)(3) modified rubber-like material, obtained by modifying a rubber-like material with at least one compound selected from (C)(1) and (C)(2), and wherein the thermoplastic composition is obtained by kneading firstly said dispersing phase (A) with said mutual compatibilizer (C) and then thereafter said matrix phase (B) therewith.
