品を得ることが困難であった。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various types of printing have been frequently performed on the surface of foam molded articles, and foam molded articles having excellent surface smoothness have been demanded. This is because if the surface of the foamed molded product has irregularities, the concave portions are not printed and remain white, and the appearance of the printed appearance deteriorates. In particular, in expanded polystyrene using expandable polymer particles, it is difficult to sufficiently fill the gaps between expanded particles, and therefore it is further required to improve the surface smoothness. In order to obtain the polymer particles for expanded polystyrene, peroxide type initiators such as benzoyl peroxide and lauroyl peroxide and azo compound type initiators such as azobisisobutyronitrile have been conventionally used. However, with the expandable polymer particles using these initiators, it was difficult to obtain a foamed molded product having excellent surface smoothness of the molded product.

優れる構造に変化させることができる。Generally, a foamed molded article using beads is obtained by impregnating vinyl polymer particles polymerized by suspension polymerization with a foaming agent, pre-foaming the expandable vinyl polymer particles with steam or the like, and then Fill the mold with pre-expanded particles,
It is manufactured by foaming this again with steam or the like. The surface smoothness of the foam-molded article thus obtained strongly depends on the properties of the pre-expanded particles. As a result of various studies on the surface smoothness of the foamed molded product, it was found that the surface smoothness is surprisingly greatly influenced by the polymerization temperature in the latter stage of the polymerization.
That is, when the polymerization temperature in the latter half of the polymerization is increased, when the expandable vinyl polymer particles are pre-expanded, the film thickness of the cells (air bubbles) on the surface of the expanded particles becomes larger than the film thickness of the internal cells, It was found that the heat resistance to steam during steam forming was increased and the surface smoothness was improved. The pre-expanded particles obtained from the expandable vinyl polymer particles polymerized at a constant temperature from the beginning to the end of the polymerization as in the conventional case have the same thickness of the surface cell and the inner cell or the surface cell Since the film thickness is thinner, the surface smoothness of the molded product after foam molding is poor. In the method of the present invention, the cell structure of the pre-expanded particles can be changed to a structure having excellent heat resistance by increasing the polymerization temperature by at least 5 ° C. or more after the weight conversion of 40% by weight or more.

温を完了することができる。In the present invention, an aqueous medium suspension of a polymerizable monomer and a polymerization initiator is first heated to a temperature of 80 ° C. to 90 ° C. to initiate polymerization, and at least the polymerization conversion rate is less than 40% by weight. The polymerization temperature is set to a temperature of 80 ° C to 90 ° C (note that, of course, the polymerization proceeds to some extent during the temperature increase to 80 ° C to 90 ° C). The preferred polymerization temperature is 83 ° C to 86 ° C. It is preferable that the polymerization temperature at which the polymerization conversion rate is less than 40% by weight after the temperature is raised to start the polymerization is constant from the viewpoint of controlling the production process and stabilizing the quality. If the polymerization temperature in this range exceeds 90 ° C., the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained, and there is a problem that the particle size distribution becomes broad depending on the kind of the peroxide type polymerization initiator. Especially t-butylperoxy-2
-When ethylhexanoate is used as an initiator, there is a problem that the particle size distribution of polymer particles obtained is broad. When the polymerization temperature in this range is less than 80 ° C., the polymerization time becomes extremely long and the particle size distribution of the polymer particles becomes broad. The rate of temperature increase from the polymerization temperature of 80 ° C to 90 ° C is preferably 0.5 ° C / min to 2 ° C / min. If the heating rate is slower than this, the synthesis time will be long, while if it is faster, it will be difficult to control the polymerization temperature. According to such a heating rate, the heating can be completed while the polymerization conversion rate is 5% by weight or less.

分〜1℃/分が好ましい。When the polymerization conversion rate is between 40% by weight and 95% by weight, the polymerization temperature is increased by at least 5 ° C. to 90 ° C.-1.
It is necessary to set the temperature to 00 ° C. It is preferably 8 ° C. or higher. Specifically, the polymerization temperature is preferably 93 ° C to 97 ° C. If the increase in the polymerization temperature is less than 5 ° C when the polymerization conversion rate is between 40% by weight and 95% by weight, the cell structure of the pre-expanded particles cannot be changed to a structure having excellent heat resistance. The effect of the present invention is not obtained at a polymerization temperature of less than 90 ° C., which is increased between 40% by weight and 95% by weight, and the polymerization conversion is 40% by weight to 95% by weight.
If the polymerization temperature increased between 100 ° C. exceeds 100 ° C., the suspension system becomes unstable, resulting in problems such as formation of giant particles and increased adhesion of the polymer to the polymerization apparatus. When the polymerization temperature is increased by 5 ° C. or more, the polymerization conversion rate is 40% by weight or more, preferably the polymerization conversion rate is 50% by weight to 70% by weight, and particularly preferably the polymerization conversion rate is between 50% by weight and 65% by weight. . If the polymerization conversion rate is less than 40% by weight, not only the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained, but also the particle size distribution of the obtained polymer particles becomes wide. The polymerization temperature does not necessarily have to be increased at once, and may be increased stepwise or continuously. Finally, if there is a difference of 5 ° C. or more, the effect of the present invention can be obtained. For example, the temperature may be raised by 10 ° C. or higher within 30 minutes, or may be raised by 5 ° C. in two steps in 2 hours. The heating rate is not particularly limited, but is 0.2 ° C /

Furthermore, the 10-hour half-life temperature is 70 ° C to 75 ° C.
Are preferred. As the polymerization initiator, a conventional organic peroxide-based polymerization initiator such as benzoyl peroxide, t-butylperoxy-2ethylhexanoate or methylbenzoyl peroxide can be used. Also, a peracid ester-based polymerization initiator is preferable because the effect of the present invention can be more remarkably obtained. With a polymerization initiator having a 10-hour half-life temperature outside this range, the particle size is uniform under the temperature conditions of the present invention, and it becomes difficult to obtain polymer particles with excellent surface smoothness. The polymerization initiator is generally used in the range of 0.05% by weight to 1% by weight based on the total amount of the vinyl-based monomer. Preferably 0.20
% By weight to 0.35% by weight. The polymerization initiators can be used in combination. Generally, when synthesizing expandable polystyrene polymer particles, a polymerization initiator as described in the present invention is used, but a polymerization that decomposes at a higher temperature in order to reduce residual monomers in the polystyrene polymer particles. An initiator is also used together. For example, t-butylperoxybenzoate or t-butylperoxyisopropyl carbonate can be used in combination.

That is, the irregularities (the gaps between the foamed particles) on the surface of the molded product were measured by a non-contact type surface roughness meter, and the larger the depression depth, the worse the surface smoothness. The particle size distribution and average particle size of the polymer particles are indicated by the deviation coefficient Cv and the median diameter, respectively. That is, based on the cumulative weight distribution curve, the cumulative weight is 15%, 50%, 8
The deviation coefficient Cv was determined by the equation of Cv = (d 85 −d 15 ) / d 50 , where the particle diameters of 5% were d 15 , d 50 , and d 85 , respectively, and the breadth of the particle diameter distribution was judged. The larger the Cv value, the wider the particle size distribution, and the smaller the Cv value, the narrower the particle size distribution. The average particle size is the above d
The median diameter represented by 50 was adopted.
