TABLET, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND MOLDED ARTICLE OBTAINED THEREFROM |
(57) Tablets of thermoplastic resin and filler, in which the compositional ratio of the
two is so controlled that the thermoplastic resin accounts for from 1 to 40 % by volume
and the filler for from 60 to 99 % by volume based on the sum of the two, 100 % by
volume, are obtained by compression-molding thermoplastic resin powder and filler
into the tablets, or melt-kneading thermoplastic resin and filler followed by compression-molding
the powder of the resulting composition into the tablets. The filler content thereof
is high, heretofore unknown in the art, and the tablets efficiently exhibit the properties
of the filler therein.
