Claims
- 1. A method of improving the sliding property of a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of a polyoxymethylene resin, a polycarbonate resin, a styrene resin, a polyester resin, a polyarylene sulfide resin, a polyamide resin, a polyphenylene ether resin, a polyarylate resin and mixtures thereof, said method comprising the steps of adding 0.1-50% by weight of a lubricating material and 0.1-50% by weight of sliding property improving agent, said agent comprising a multiphase structure thermoplastic resin made of a graft copolymer which consists of from 5 to 95 parts by weight of an ethylene polymer (a) and from 95 to 5 parts by weight of a vinyl polymer (b) formed from a monomer selected from the group consisting of an aromatic vinyl monomer, an acrylic acid ester monomer, a methacrylic acid ester monomer, a vinyl cyanide monomer, a vinyl ester monomer and mixtures thereof, said vinyl polymer (b) having a mean number degree of polymerization of from 10 to 5,000, one of ethylene polymer (a) and vinyl polymer (b) being a dispersed polymer and the other being a dispersing polymer.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said lubricating material is selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, alcohols, fatty acid esters, silicones, mineral oils and mixtures thereof.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said multiphase thermoplastic resin is obtained by a process comprising the steps of:
- (1) adding a vinyl monomer, a radical polymerizable organic peroxide and a radical polymerization initiator to a water suspension of an ethylene polymer to form a resultant mixture;
- (2) impregnating said ethylene polymer with said vinyl monomer, radical polymerizable organic peroxide and radical polymerization initiator by heating the resultant mixture;
- (3) raising the temperature of the resultant mixture until more than 10% by weight of the vinyl monomer and radical polymerizable organic peroxide is impregnated inside of said ethylene polymer;
- (4) copolymerizing said vinyl monomer and radical polymerizable organic peroxide inside of said ethylene polymer to produce a graft precursor; and
- (5) melting and kneading the graft precursor at a temperature of from 100.degree.-300.degree. C. to obtain said multiphase thermoplastic resin.
