A resin composition comprises 1 to 60 parts by weight of a wollastonite
fiber (in which the number-average fiber length is 1 to 30 .mu.m, the
number-average fiber diameter is 0.1 to 10 .mu.m, and the proportion of
the number of a fiber having a fiber length of 5 to 25 .mu.m relative to
the total number of the fiber is 20 to 75%) and 0.1 to 20 parts by weight
of an acid- or epoxy-modified olefinic resin having a melting point of
100 to 170.degree. C., relative to 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic
resin (e.g., a polycarbonate-series resin). The weight-average molecular
weight of the modified olefinic resin may be about 2.5.times.10.sup.4 to
30.times.10.sup.4. The resin composition may comprise a flame retardant.
The combination use of the wollastonite fiber and the modified olefinic
resin improves heat resistance, impact resistance and weld strength, even
in the case of using a wollastonite fiber having a number-average fiber
diameter of about 4 to 7 .mu.m and an average aspect ratio of about 1.5
to 3. The present invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition
for improving the impact resistance, weld strength and surface property
without deteriorating the heat resistance.
