A thermoplastic resin composition comprising: (I) a rubber-modified thermoplastic resin, and (II) a transparent thermoplastic resin, a thermoplastic elastomer or combination thereof, provided that said resin (I) is excluded from component (II), wherein the rubber-modified thermoplastic resin (I) is a resin prepared by polymerizing (B) 30-100% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of an aromatic alkenyl compound monomer and an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer and (C) 70-0% by weight of at least one other monomeric compound copolymerizable therewith, in the presence of 5-45% by weight of (A) a hydrogenated diene copolymer of component (I) obtained by hydrogenating a diene copolymer comprising a random copolymer of 50% by weight or more of at least one conjugated diene and 50% by weight or less of an alkenyl aromatic compound until at least 70% by weight of the olefinic unsaturation of the diene copolymer is hydrogenated.

Thermoplastic resin composition

A thermoplastic resin composition comprising (a) 50-99% by weight of a polyarylenesulfide resin and (b) 50-1% by weight of a norbornene-type resin as essential components is disclosed. This resin composition possesses excellent stiffness properties and high heat resistance, and exhibits only small anisotropic properties and superior moldability during the molding operation, and is useful for molding various electronic parts, household electric or electronic parts and articles. Those having a Vicut softening point of 200.degree. C. or higher are especially useful for sealing electronic parts or photo-semiconductors.

A process for producing a rubber-modified thermoplastic resin, which comprises polymerizing (B) 30-100% by weight of an aromatic alkenyl compound monomer and/or an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer and (C) 70-0% by weight of at least one other monomer compound copolymerizable therewith, in the presence of (A) a hydrogenated diene copolymer obtained by hydrogenating a diene copolymer comprising a rndom copolymer of 50% by weight or more of at least one conjugated diene and 50% by weight or less of an alkenyl aromatic compound until at least 70% by weight of the olefinic unsaturation of the diene copolymer is hydrogenated. The hydrogenated diene copolymer (A) may be a hydrogenated copolymer consisting of an A-B block copolymer or an A-B-C block copolymer (A is an alkenyl aromatic compound polymer block, B is an alkenyl aromatic compound-conjugated diene random copolymer block, and C is a polymer block composed mainly of an alkenyl aromatic compound), wherein

Process for producing rubber-modified thermoplastic resin

A thermoplastic resin composition with superior chemical resistance and impact resistance is disclosed. The composition comprises: 50 to 90% by weight of a rubber-modified styrene thermoplastic resin containing 10 to 60% by weight of .alpha.-methyl styrene, 5 to 48% by weight of an aromatic polyester, and 2 to 10% by weight of an aromatic polycarbonate.
