Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermally foamable microsphere having a structure in which a foaming agent is enclosed in a shell made of a polymer, and a method for producing the same. Further, the present invention relates to the use of heat-expandable microspheres as a heat-expandable foaming agent, a composition containing heat-expandable microspheres and a polymer material, and a composition containing heat-expandable microspheres for thermal expansion. Items of foam particles obtained by foaming. Background technique
[0002] Heat-expandable microspheres, also known as heat-expandable microcapsules, are formed by microencapsulating a volatile liquid blowing agent with a polymer. Thermally foamable microspheres are generally produced by suspension polymerization of a polymerizable mixture containing at least one polymerizable monomer and a volatile blowing agent in an aqueous dispersion medium. As the polymerization reaction proceeds, a shell...
