(Function) One of the methods for producing a foamed insulator using a modified polyphenylene ether resin composition is to mix a foaming agent into a polyphenylene ether resin composition at a temperature below the foaming temperature, and then to form an internal conductor at a temperature below the foaming temperature. There is a method of extruding and forming an electric wire and then heating the electric wire above the foaming temperature to foam it. In this case, if the insulating layer is molded and then heated and foamed without crosslinking, the average cell diameter will increase. In the case of a thin insulating layer with a thickness of 200 cm or less, pinholes occur frequently.The bubble diameter can be significantly reduced by crosslinking the insulating layer before heating and foaming. It was also found that no pinholes were formed at all.
