Abstract
An oxymethylene polymer resin shaped article having high flexural modulus, which is produced by molding an oxymethylene polymer resin, wherein the oxymethylene polymer resin is selected from the group consisting of an oxymethylene homopolymer resin, an oxymethylene copolymer resin and a mixture thereof. The oxymethylene copolymer resin comprises a copolymer of an oxymethylene monomer and a comonomer copolymerizable therewith, wherein the amount of the comonomer is extremely limited. The shaped article has the following characteristics: (1) a crystallinity of 72% or more; (2) an average crystallite size of 150 .ANG. or more; (3) 70% by volume or more of the whole volume of the shaped article being comprised of spherulites each having a diameter of 60 .mu.m or less; and (4) a thickness of 1 mm or more. The oxymethylene polymer resin shaped article of the present invention has an improved crystal structure, and exhibits excellent mechanical properties including especially high flexural modulus even when containing very little or no reinforcement. The oxymethylene polymer resin shaped article of the present invention can be advantageously used not only as a material for a sliding part …
