As the expandable polymer particles, expandable polystyrene resin particles are well known, and by using the particles, a molded foam molded article can be easily obtained at low cost. However, since the monomer constituting the polymer is styrene, the foamed molded article is required to have heat resistance such as a heat insulating material for pipes having a relatively high temperature, a heat insulating material for a roof, an automobile member, a heat insulating material for a solar system. There are drawbacks that cannot be used for certain applications. In addition, there is also a drawback that it is difficult to select an adhesive because it has poor solvent resistance when it is used by being bonded to other materials, especially in automobile parts and the like.

Therefore, in order to obtain expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles having sufficient heat resistance and solvent resistance in practical use, the present inventors have proposed that the monomer composition of the polymer should be alpha methyl styrene 10 More than weight% and 5 acrylonitrile
It was considered necessary to obtain copolymer particles containing at least wt% and to make the resin particles contain a volatile foaming agent. However, based on this point of view, in order to obtain a copolymer having excellent heat resistance by suspension polymerization using a large amount of alpha methyl styrene as described above, t-butylperoxybenzoate, di-t-butylperoxide can be used. Oxide, t
-There is a method of using an organic peroxide such as butyl peroxyacetate as a polymerization initiator, but in these cases, it is necessary to use a very large amount regardless of the polymerization temperature. Has an extremely low degree of polymerization, and when the copolymer particles are impregnated with a volatile foaming agent to form expandable thermoplastic resin particles, the expandability is extremely poor and it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory foamed molded product. Not only that, but the molded body also becomes weak.

Further, if the amount of the initiator used is decreased to increase the degree of polymerization by using these initiators, so-called dead end polymerization occurs, so that a high conversion rate cannot be industrially obtained, and it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory foamed molded product. Further, when an organic peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide is used, a copolymer having a high conversion rate that can be industrially utilized cannot be obtained even at a suitable polymerization temperature.

On the other hand, with a high degree of polymerization, and as a method for obtaining a high conversion alpha methyl styrene-acrylonitrile-based copolymer,
Although there is an emulsion polymerization method, in order to produce expandable thermoplastic polymer particles by this method, as shown in JP-A-57-65735, after emulsion polymerization, coagulation and pelletization are carried out to obtain the obtained pellets. Since a very complicated process of impregnating a foaming agent is required, the production cost will not increase, and a large amount of emulsifier, coagulant, etc. will be mixed in the obtained resin. It has the disadvantage that only poor quality can be obtained.

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in view of such drawbacks, and as a result, trifunctional tris (tertiarybutylperoxy) triazine was used, and by using acrylonitrile together, a large amount of alpha methyl styrene was used for high polymerization.

The amount of alpha methyl styrene used in the present invention is 1
In the range of 0 to 80% by weight, it is determined by the desired heat resistance and the expansion ratio, but if it is less than 10% by weight, the effect of improving the heat resistance cannot be seen, and if it exceeds 80% by weight, the polymerization conversion rate decreases. However, a large amount of the monomer remains in the resin and the heat resistance deteriorates. In order to obtain heat resistance of 100 ° C. in a 50 times expansion molded product, it is necessary to use 20 to 50% by weight of alpha methyl styrene, and in order to obtain heat resistance of 110 ° C. in a 5 to 15 times expansion molded product, 50% by weight is required. It is necessary to use ~ 80% by weight alpha methyl styrene.

If it is less than 5% by weight, the polymerization conversion rate of the composition tends to be low, and the effect on oil resistance cannot be exhibited, which is not preferable. Further, if it exceeds 50% by weight, the polymerization conversion rate does not change and the resin is colored yellowish brown, which is not preferable.

The selection of the initiator used in the present invention is important in order to efficiently obtain a polymer having a high degree of polymerization and a high polymerization conversion rate. When the polymerization conversion rate is low and 5% or more of the monomer remains in the resin, it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory foamed molded product, and even if a foamed molded product can be barely obtained, the heat resistance is extremely high. It becomes bad. From this perspective,
The initiator of the present invention is a trifunctional tris (tert-butylperoxy) triazine, the structural formula of which is as follows.

In using these, it is also possible to use one kind or a combination of two or more kinds. The amount used is based on the monomer used.
It is 0.05 to 30% by weight. If it is less than 0.05% by weight, industrially practical polymerization conversion cannot be obtained at all, or a long time is required, resulting in extremely poor productivity.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 3.0% by weight, the molecular weight is remarkably reduced and satisfactory foam molding cannot be carried out, or only foam molded articles having a considerably poor strength can be obtained even if barely foam molding is possible.

In the present invention, a suspension polymerization method is adopted as a method for obtaining the desired expandable thermoplastic copolymer particles. In the emulsion polymerization method, there is a cost increase due to the complexity of the process as described above, and there is a decrease in quality due to the mixture of an emulsifier and a coagulant, and in the bulk polymerization method, after pelletization after polymerization,
Both are inferior to the suspension polymerization method in that the process of impregnating the blowing agent is complicated.

Here, as the dispersant used in suspension polymerization, an organic dispersant such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and methyl cellulose, or an inorganic dispersant such as tricalcium phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, sodium silicate, zinc oxide, or magnesium carbonate. However, when an inorganic dispersant is used, the effect of the dispersant becomes remarkably good by using an anionic surfactant such as sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate or sodium α-olefin sulfonate. Then, using such a dispersant,
When the copolymer particles of the above composition are to be obtained by suspension polymerization, the particle size tends to be very small, and if the dispersant is reduced to obtain relatively large particles, the latter half of the polymerization will occur. It is difficult to obtain desired particles having a relatively large particle diameter due to abnormal suspension. Therefore, in order to obtain particles having a desired particle size, it is preferable to carry out the polymerization using a small amount of the dispersant in the initial stage of the polymerization and to add the dispersant in the latter half of the polymerization.

And halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichlorodifluoromethane, methyl chloride, dichlorotetrafluoromethane, and ethyl chloride. The amount of these foaming agents to be used depends on the desired expansion ratio of the foamed molded product, but it is possible to obtain a foamed molded product of 2 to 100 times by containing 2% by weight to 15% by weight. . The foaming agent may be added at any time during or after the polymerization.

Further, as a method of incorporating the monomer, unreacted monomer is left after the polymerization, but it is difficult to control the residual amount. The amount of these solvents and plasticizers used is preferably 3% by weight or less.
