Abstract

A thermoplastic elastomer composition which is excellent in melt-flowability and is able to afford injection molded articles superior in appearance is provided, which is a mixture comprising (A) 20-50 parts by weight of an olefinic copolymer rubber, (B) 50-80 parts by weight of an olefinic plastic having a ratio of melt index M.sub.1 /M.sub.0 of 2-50 wherein M.sub.0 is a melt index of the plastic before subjected to thermal decomposition with organic peroxide and M.sub.1 is a melt index of the plastic after subjected to the thermal decomposition with the organic peroxide, sum of (A) and (B) being 100 parts by weight, (C) 5-25 parts by weight of a mineral oil and (D) 0.1-3 parts by weight of a bismaleimide compound, said mixture being dynamically heat treated with (E) an organic peroxide after bismaleimide compound (D) is homogeneously dispersed in the mixture.
