However, in any of the resin foams produced by any of the methods, the bubble diameter of the foam layer inside is larger than that of the non-foam layer on the surface, and the cells are likely to be inhomogeneous. For this reason, there are drawbacks such that a smooth surface cannot be obtained, the surface gloss is inferior, and the mechanical strength is low, and the performance is unsatisfactory for the intended use.

The resin foam of the present invention may have the surface layer portion having the above-mentioned constitution, and the resin molding before foaming may be a single-layer molding or a multi-layer molding comprising two or more layers. For example, by sandwiching a resin layer capable of foaming at a high expansion ratio between the intermediate layers of a multilayer resin molded product, it is possible to reduce the weight of the entire resin foam obtained. The resin of each layer constituting the multi-layer resin molded body may be the same or different. However, considering the delamination and dimensional stability due to the difference in thermal deformation when the resin foam is heated in the foaming process and secondary molding process, etc., the same type of resin is used as the raw material for the multi-layer extruder and multi-layer injection molding. It is preferable to use a resin molded body formed in layers by a manufacturing facility such as a machine. The method for producing the layered resin molded body is not particularly limited.

The method for producing a resin foam according to the present invention will be described in more detail. First, a pre-molded unfoamed resin molding is enclosed in a high-pressure container, an inert gas is injected into the container, and the inert gas is permeated into the unfoamed resin molding. Carbon dioxide is preferably used as the inert gas. At this time, the pressure of the inert gas and the permeation time are not particularly limited. However, it is preferable that the permeation time is short if the pressure is high and the permeation time is long if the pressure is low. In this way, after the inert gas is sufficiently permeated into the resin molded body, the pressure is released, and the taken out gas permeated resin molded body is heated to foam. The heating temperature at the time of foaming is set to a range higher than the foaming start temperature. The foaming start temperature means a temperature at which the expansion ratio exceeds 1.1 times. At this time, the heating means is not particularly limited as long as a foam satisfying the requirements of the present invention is obtained, but in consideration of the characteristics of the obtained foam, oil or the like is used for rapid heating, and air is used for deheating. The oven is selected. Also,
The heating time is set to the time when the bubble growth is completed. For example, for a resin molded product having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, about 60 seconds is suitable. Then, the resin foam is obtained by cooling.

A method of reducing φ can be considered. For example, in order to increase T, a gas desorption step may be provided to control the skin layer before foaming. Further, in order to reduce φ, methods such as rapid heating, increasing the gas concentration, and controlling the physical properties of the sheet can be mentioned.

According to such a method, by using an inert gas (preferably carbon dioxide gas) and setting the foaming temperature in the range of the foaming start temperature or higher, uniform fine bubbles are contained and mechanical strength is increased.

Example 1 A PEN molded sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm (manufactured by Teijin Kasei Co., Ltd.) and an olefin non-woven fabric (FT300 grade, manufactured by Japan Vilene Co., Ltd.) were prepared as separators. The PEN molded sheet used was subjected to a thermal analysis with a differential scanning calorimeter (manufactured by Seiko Denshi Kogyo Co., Ltd.), and as a result, the glass transition temperature Tg was in the range of 110 to 115 ° C. A PEN molded sheet and an olefin-based nonwoven fabric were overlaid and rolled so that the surfaces of the PEN molded sheet were not in contact with each other to prepare a roll. The roll was sealed in a high-pressure container at room temperature and allowed to stand in a carbon dioxide gas of 60 kg / cm 2 for 7 days to permeate the gas and saturate it. After releasing the pressure, the roll was taken out from the high pressure container, and while removing the olefin-based nonwoven fabric separator, the PEN molded sheet was continuously fed to the hot air circulation type foaming furnace set at 180 ° C. so that the foaming time was 1 minute.
