Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a molded foam product which can reduce or prevent blisters and crinkles on the surface even in the case of manufacturing a molded product designed to have a small thickness, thereby giving a molded foam product having excellent heat insulation while avoiding an increase in the amounts of materials used.

Abstract: A foam molded article having excellent shock resistance and inhibited from swelling, and a method for producing the foam molded article. The foam molded article has a bottom portion and a side face portion. The bottom portion has a cross-section including, in order, a first skin layer, a first foam layer, a belt-like resin layer, a second foam layer and a second skin layer. The diameter of the bottom portion is 20 mm or more. The thickness of the bottom portion is 2.0 mm or more. The angle between the bottom portion and the side face portion is 40° or more and 89° or less. The foam molded article satisfies: B/3?A?3B; A represents a length between an opposite surface of the bottom portion to a side where the side face portion is disposed and an upper end of the side face portion, and B represents the bottom portion diameter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a container for foods which can suppress occurrences of wrinkles and blisters, and can produce a container for foods having depth and being excellent in heat insulating properties, with the use of a supercritical injection molding method. The method for producing the container for foods according to the present invention is a method for producing the container having depth, by injection molding a molten resin that contains a supercritical fluid and a resin composition, into a cavity in a metal mold, wherein the cavity includes a first region that forms an underside portion of the container for foods having depth, a second region that forms a curved side portion, and a third region that forms a lateral side portion, from a resin injection port toward a flow end, and wherein the mold surfaces that face the cavity of the second region and the third region have an arithmetic mean roughness of 0.

Abstract: The present invention provides a foamable resin composition excellent in terms of the dispersibility and moldability. The foamable resin composition containing: from 30 to 80 wt % of a polyolefin; from 3 to 40 wt % of a polylactic acid; from 1 to 20 wt % of a modified polyolefin containing a carbonyl group in a molecule; from 10 to 40 wt % of a layered silicate; and from 0.01 to 0.5 wt % of a filler, the polyolefin containing at least one of polypropylene and polyethylene, the filler having a density different from the density of the layered silicate by at least 0.20 g/cm3.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for efficiently manufacturing a molded foam product having excellent heat insulation, and a molded foam product obtained by such a method. The method of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a molded foam product, including the steps of: melting a resin composition containing a polyolefin and a polylactic acid and impregnating the resin composition with a fluid in a supercritical state to prepare a molten resin, and injecting the molten resin into a cavity formed in a mold and moving a portion of the mold to increase the volume of the cavity before the molten resin injected into the cavity completely solidifies, the fluid impregnated into the resin composition being a fluid of 0.05 to 4.0 wt % inert gas, the molded foam product at least partially having a five-layer cross-sectional structure of a first unfoamed layer, a first foamed layer, a hollow space, a second foamed layer, and a second unfoamed layer included in the given order.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a molded foam product which can reduce blisters on the surface and foaming failure in injection molding of a molten resin containing a fluid in a supercritical state even in the case of manufacturing a molded product designed to have a small thickness, thereby giving a molded foam product having excellent heat insulation. The method of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a molded foam product through injection molding of a molten resin containing a fluid in a supercritical state, the method including a step of injecting the molten resin into a cavity formed in a mold and moving a portion of the mold to increase the volume of the cavity before the molten resin injected into the cavity completely solidifies, the cavity being communicated only with a single resin injection port, the mold having a dimple which has a substantially hemispherical shape and is situated to face the resin injection port, the mold having a minimum gap size of 0.
