  • Publication number: 20060025490
    Abstract: A resin composition containing thermoplastic resin and a flame retardant is sufficiently kneaded and molded, and carbon dioxide in a supercritical state is caused to permeate into the resin composition. Subsequently, the resin composition is degassed by cooling and/or pressure reduction. As a result of degassing, a resin foam body having a fine and uniform micro-cellular foam structure is obtained. The resin foam body has a cyclic structure in which a resin phase and a pore phase are continuous and intertwined. The obtained resin foam body can suitably find applications such as home OA parts, electric and electronic parts and automobile parts that are required to be highly strong, lightweight and nonflammable.

  • Publication number: 20040198853
    Abstract: Carbon dioxide in a supercritical state is caused to permeate into a resin composition formed by sufficiently kneading a thermoplastic copolymer having a polysiloxane structure at recurring units. Subsequently, the resin composition is degassed by cooling and/or pressure reduction. As a result of degassing, a resin foam body 1 having a fine and uniform micro-cellular foam structure is obtained. The resin foam body 1 has a cyclic structure in which a resin phase 2 and a pore phase 3 are continuous and intertwined. The resin foam body 1 shows an excellent reflectivity relative to rays of light and is highly nonflammable, while it is very strong and lightweight.

  • Patent number: 4251199
    Abstract: A cylindrical stabilizing means (stabilizer) for resin bubbles useful to perform shaping of tubular films without causing the fluctuation or breakage of resin bubbles even in case where a take up velocity of the tubular film is relatively large, cooling of tubular body of molten resin extrudated from a die is not sufficient or amount of extrudate from a die is relatively large, is provided. Said stabilizing means has penetration holes on the circumferential wall close to the annular slit 16 of die, which communicate with an opening of the tip of the means, and also has continuous deep grooves of a depth of 0.5 mm or more extending from the portion of the circumferential wall close to said annular slit to the opening of the tip, which grooves are formed on the whole outer circumferential wall having fine concave and convex engraved patterns of the difference of height or depth of from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.
