The invention relates to a method for producing a hydrocarbon resin, in which method a monomer mixture which contains an aromatic component containing indene and/or C.sub.1-4 alkylindene and a cyclic diolefin component containing a cyclic diolefin compound is polymerized by heating to a polymerization temperature of at least 180° C. to obtain a product stream containing hydrocarbon resin, wherein oligomers which contain units originating from the cyclic diolefin compound and/or units originating from the aromatic component are separated from the product stream and returned to the monomer mixture, and wherein the hydrocarbon resin is heated in an annealing step to a temperature of 150° C. to 300° C. for a period of 15 minutes to 240 hours. The invention also relates to a hydrocarbon resin that is obtainable by the method, to a hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin, and to the use of the hydrocarbon resin and the hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin.

The present invention provides a resin composition for sliding member and a sliding member having excellent moldability and sliding properties that contains plant-derived polyethylene resin as a main component. In the resin composition for sliding member, as additives, petroleum-derived polyethylene resin of 0.1 to 20% by mass, modified polyolefin resin of 0.1 to 10% by mass, lubricating oil of 0.5 to 5% by mass, and plant-derived filler of 0.1 to 50% by mass are blended in addition to plant-derived polyethylene resin as a main component. A sliding member is produced by molding this resin composition for sliding member.

A composition of polypropylene composite resin having high impact strength and high adhesion is provided. The composition of polypropylene composite resin having high impact strength and high adhesion can largely enhance base adhesion and impact resistance due to a high friction coefficient while providing a similar mechanical property to the related art. The compositions provided herein include mixing a polypropylene polymer, a polyethylene resin composition, and a thermoplastic elastomer, a silane-based propylene polymer, and an inorganic filler as main components at a specific content ratio. The compositions have advantages including process simplification, cost reduction, and eco-friendly without a separate adhering process. Such compositions can be used for interior components such as sun visors, door trims, pillar trims of vehicles and various other industrial components and materials.
