Abstract: There is disclosed expandable vinylidene chloride-based resin particles comprising 100 parts by weight of a non-crystalline vinylidene chloride-based resin composition and 1 to 40 parts by weight of a volatile organic blowing agent or a composition thereof, said resin composition consisting ofa tetrahydrofuran-soluble component [A] which is a random copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 to 600,000 and constituted of different units represented severally by the following general formulae ##STR1## wherein; R.sub.1 denotes alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, cyclohexyl, phenyl, or each of R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 being --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --Cl, --Br, --OCH.sub.3, or --H; each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 denotes --H or --CH.sub.3 ; R.sub.3 denotes halogen, --CN, ##STR2## n being an integer 1 to 8 and R.sub.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to foam particles of a linear, uncrosslinked ethylenic resin which can be expansion molded by heating in its uncrosslinked state. The present disclosure is also concerned with a process for preparing foam particles of a linear uncrosslinked ethylenic resin and a process for the in-mold foam molding of said resin particles.

Abstract: A foamable, electroconductive polyolefinic resin composition comprising 70 to 95 weight percent of a polyolefinic resin and 5 to 30 weight percent of an electrically-conductive particulate furnace black having a specific surface area of at least 900 square meters per gram. Foam products prepared from this composition, preferably by extrusion foaming, are particularly useful for packaging sensitive electronic parts.

Abstract: Electroconductive olefin polymer foams which are suitable for use as packaging/cushioning materials for sensitive electronic parts are prepared from olefin polymer compositions which comprise a major proportion by weight of an olefin polymer, from 5 to 30 weight percent, based on said olefin polymer, of an electroconductive carbon black and from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, based on said olefin polymer of a saturated fatty acid amide compound.
