(Prior art) Polystyrene particles are impregnated with an easily volatile blowing agent to form expandable polystyrene particles, which are heated with water vapor to form pre-expanded particles, then filled into a mold and reheated to form particles between the particles in the mold. Polystyrene foam molded products fused together are widely known. However, although this foamed molded product has strong rigidity and good heat insulation and shape retention properties, it has the disadvantage that it is brittle and has poor chemical and oil resistance.

In order to improve these drawbacks, in place of polystyrene, copolymers of acrylonitrile and styrenes (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-204629) and multi-component copolymers containing improved monomer components have been developed. Proposals have been made to use coalescence. By using such styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, the chemical resistance, etc. of the base resin itself is improved, which in turn improves the chemical resistance, oil resistance, etc. of the foam molded product made from it. It is said that

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, foamed molded articles obtained using expandable resin particles having such a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer as a base resin cannot be used in high-temperature environments (particularly 100% ℃ or higher), and even when a base resin with a high softening temperature is used, there is a problem in that unevenness occurs on the surface of the molded product, significantly impairing its appearance. The occurrence of such thermal deformation poses a problem not only in terms of appearance but also in the risk of peeling off at the adhesive interface when used in conjunction with other materials.

It is thought that such thermal deformation and the occurrence of irregularities are mainly caused by the re-foaming of the residual foaming agent present in the foamed molded article, particularly in the surface layer.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention discovered that in order to prevent thermal deformation and surface unevenness due to surface re-foaming, it is sufficient to reduce the amount of foaming agent remaining during foam molding. We are considering creating undefeated microscopic cracks (hereinafter referred to as "microcracks") in the vicinity of the layer to dramatically increase the surface area of the pre-expanded particles and the foamed product to promote the escape of the foaming agent. went.

Conventionally, methods for forming such fine cracks in expanded polystyrene particles include a mechanical method using a needle (Japanese Patent Publication No. 19809/1983), paraffin oil, glyceride of higher fatty acids having 12 to 30 carbon atoms, etc. A method of coating and physicochemically forming it during molding (Tokukō Sho 6)

By coating with a specific compound among glycerides, fine cracks are efficiently generated during molding, preventing or suppressing the residual foaming agent, and thereby significantly preventing and suppressing thermal deformation and surface deformation of the resulting molded product.

Oil resistance etc. will be insufficient, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the styrene monomer residue is too small, the retention of the blowing agent will decrease, making it impossible to obtain a molded article with a high expansion ratio, which is not preferable. Other polymerizable monomer residues are used to improve the physical properties of the copolymer, if necessary, and at most 30% by weight is sufficient. In particular, when N-substituted aromatic maleimide such as N-phenylmaleimide is used as the polymerizable monomer, the softening temperature of the base resin itself can be significantly increased. Together with the effects of the claimed invention, 12
It should be possible to impart excellent dimensional stability and surface stability to the molded product even in a high temperature environment of about 0°C. The amount of the maleimide monomer residue in this case is suitably 0.5 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 20% by weight.
