Disclosed is a flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition, which comprises 50 to 98 parts by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate (A), 0.1 to 49 parts by weight of a copolymer (B) comprising an aromatic vinyl monomer unit (b-1) and a vinyl cyanide monomer unit (b-2), 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of a cyanide-containing, graft copolymer (C) obtained by copolymerizing an aromatic vinyl compound (c-1) and a vinyl cyanide compound (c-2) in the presence of a rubbery polymer (c-3), 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylate-containing, graft copolymer (D) obtained by copolymerizing an aromatic vinyl compound (d-1) and an alkyl (meth)acrylate (d-2) in the presence of a rubbery butadiene polymer (d-3), and 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of at least one organic phosphorus compound oligomer (E), wherein the total amount of the components (A), (B), (C) and (D) is 100 parts by weight.

Polycarbonate-base flame-retardant resin composition

Disclosed is a flame retardant polycarbonate resin composition having an improved melt fluidity, which comprises (A) an aromatic polycarbonate having a weight average molecular weight of from 12,000 to 25,000, (B) a styrene-acrylonitrile-butyl acrylate copolymer having a butyl acrylate unit content of from 1 to 30% by weight, (C) a complex rubber graft copolymer obtained by a process comprising graft-polymerizing at least one graft-polymerizable monomer onto a complex rubber comprising a polyorganosiloxane and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate, (D) a phosphoric ester, and (E) a tetrafluoroethylene polymer. The resin composition of the present invention not only has excellent melt fluidity, but is also excellent in flame retardancy, impact resistance and modulus of elasticity. The resin composition of the present invention can be advantageously used for producing various types of shaped articles (including those for use in office automation machines and in electric and electronic equipment), and is especially advantageous for producing small-thickness shaped articles.

Flame-retardant polycarbonate resin composition with excellent melt flowability

A flame retardant resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin/flame retardant mixture having fluororesin fibrils dispersed therein, wherein, when a breakage-exposed surface of a tensile force-broken piece of a test sample prepared from the flame retardant composition by injection molding so as to be used in a flame retardancy test by the Vertical Burning Method described in UL-Subject 94 is examined by means of a SEM with respect to a predetermined area of 7 .mu.m.times.7 .mu.m wherein the fibrils are dispersed in the entire region of the predetermined area, the dispersed fibrils exhibit a dispersion morphology in which the fibrils have a diameter of 0.5 mm or less over lengths of the fibrils which lengths correspond to 50% or more of the total length of the fibrils and in which the fibrils have a network configuration comprising one or more intersecting points of fibrils and/or a branched configuration comprising one or more branching points of fibrils, wherein 5 or more intersecting points and/or branching points are present in the predetermined area. The resin composition of the present invention is advantageous not only in that it has high flame retardancy, especially a high property of dripping-prevention upon being burnt, but also in that a shaped article obtained from the resin composition has excellent appearance.
