The object of the present invention is to provide a developer having a sharp charge amount distribution and bringing out high-quality image without substantially smearing a charging unit, developing units, a photoconductor, and an intermediate transferring member by the developer, namely, a developer capable of providing an appropriate image density and exhibiting extremely little background smear even when used over a long period of time and repeatedly used for a number of sheets of paper as well as to provide an image forming apparatus for electrophotography using the developer.

The present invention is a polyphenylene sulfide resin composition comprising (a) a polyphenylene sulfide resin and (b) an olefin-based resin, and satisfying the following conditions (i) through (v): (i) The mixing ratio of the polyphenylene sulfide resin (a) and the olefin-based resin (b) is such that the amount of the polyphenylene sulfide resin (a) is in a range from 95 to 60 wt %, while the amount of the olefin-based resin (b) is in a range from 5 to 40 wt %, with the total weight of both the ingredients as 100 wt %; (hi) said olefin-based resin (b) comprising two copolymer: (b-1) an epoxy group-containing olefin copolymer and (b-2) an ethylene / (α-olefin copolymer obtained by copolymerizing ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms; (iii) as the morphology observed by an electron microscope, said polyphenylene sulfide resin (a) forms a continuous phase, and said olefin-based resin (b) forms a dispersion phase and has a core-shell structure having said ethylene / α-olefin copolymer (b-2) acting as a core component contained in said epoxy group-containing olefin copolymer (b-1) acting as a shell component: (iv) the melt flow rate measured at a temperature of 315.5° C. and at a load of 5000 g according to ASTM-D-1238 is in a range from 10 to 50 g / 10 min; and (v) the notched impact strength measured at −40° C. according to ASTM-D-256 is 300 J / m or more. This invention provides a PPS resin composition excellent in flowability, impact properties and low-temperature roughness and suitable for injection molding.

A resin composition comprising a polylactic acid-based resin (A) and methacrylic resins (B), wherein the methacrylic resins having at least (a) a difference of 10° C. or more in glass transition temperature or (b) a difference of 3% or more in syndiotacticity; it is preferred that at least one of the methacrylic resins (B) is a methacrylic resin having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 450,000, a glass transition temperature of 110° C. or higher and a syndiotacticity of 40% or more, and that the resin composition further contains a multilayer structure polymer formed as particles each consisting of a core layer and one or more shell layers covering it (C). A molded article made of said resin composition.

The present invention provides heat-expanded microspheres having high packing efficiency, and a production method thereof. The heat-expanded microspheres are produced by expanding heat-expandable microspheres, which comprise shell of thermoplastic resin and a blowing agent encapsulated therein having a boiling point not higher than the softening point of the thermoplastic resin and have an average particle size from 1 to 100 micrometer, at a temperature not lower than their expansion initiating temperature, and the heat-expanded microspheres result in a void fraction not higher than 0.70.
