Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition and a molded product produced therefrom.


BACKGROUND ART

Styrene-based resins represented by acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) resins are widely used in various applications due to their excellent formability, mechanical properties, appearance, secondary processability, and the like.


Molded articles produced using styrene-based resins can be applied to various products that do or do not require painting, for example, various interior/exterior materials for automobiles and/or electronic devices.


In some cases, painting is performed on a molded product produced from a styrene-based resin in order to impart aesthetic effects to various interior/exterior materials. In general, painting may be performed by electrostatic painting widely used in the art, but is not limited thereto. Electrostatic painting is a process of performing painting after imparting electrical conductivity to the surface of a molded product and, in order to apply electrostatic coating to a plastic molded product having high surface resistance, it is necessary to perform pretreatment, such as application of a conductive primer and the like, to the surface of the molded product.


Since application of the conductive primer increases the number of processes and a process time, it has been proposed in recent years to further add various conductive materials (for example, carbon nanotubes) and/or additives for expression of conductivity into a styrene-based resin such that a molded product can have a certain level of electrical conductivity.


However, the addition of the conductive material and/or additives for expression of conductivity to the styrene-based resin can cause unexpected degradation in various properties due to damage to property balance of the styrene resin.


Therefore, there is a need for development of a thermoplastic resin composition that can maintain good electrical conductivity and property balance.
