Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/JP93/01050 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 29, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 29, 1994 PCT Filed Jul. 27, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/03524 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 17, 1994.A modified polyphenylene ether comprising repeating units of the formula (1): <IMAGE> (1) wherein R1 and R2 are, independently from each other, a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and having a number average polymerization degree of 20 to 12,000, in which 0.02/X to 1/X of methyl groups at the 2- and/or 6-positions of phenylene group are substituted by an aminomethyl group wherein X is a number average polymerization degree, a process for preparing the same, and a thermoplastic resin composition containing (A) 1 to 75% by weight of the above modified polyphenylene ether and (B) 99 to 25% by weight of a liquid crystalline polyester. Since this modified polyphenylene ether includes a highly reactive primary amine on the polymer side chain, it is preferably used in a wide range as a component of various compositions or polymer alloys. The thermoplastic resin composition is excellent in heat resistance, mechanical properties and appearance and gloss of a molded article.
