Abstract

Abstract Surface characteristics of a molded article formed by a composition including a polypropylene resin, an engineering plastic and a functionalized polyolefin resin or a composition including the said composition and an inorganic filler or a rubbery substance incorporated therein can be improved without deteriorating such characteristics as rigidity, impact resistance, heat resistance, dimensional stability and moldability, by radiating an ultraviolet light not longer than 300 nm in wavelength to the molded article, the said functionalized polyolefin resin containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid group-, carboxylic ester group- or acid anhydride group-containing monomers, epoxy group-containing monomers, hydroxyl group-containing monomers, amino group-containing monomers, alkenyl cyclic iminoether derivatives and polyfunctional monomers.
