    Abstract: An expanded bead having a tubular shape with a through hole and a method for producing the same are provided. The expanded bead includes a foamed core layer and a covering layer. A polyolefin-based resin included in the covering layer has a melting point lower than a melting point of a polypropylene-based resin included in the foamed core layer. An average hole diameter d of the through hole of the expanded bead is less than 1 mm, and a ratio d/D of the average hole diameter d to an average outer diameter D of the expanded bead is 0.4 or less. The polypropylene-based resin for the foamed core layer has a flexural modulus of 1,200 MPa or more and a melting point of 158° C. or lower.

    Abstract: A vehicle seat core material includes a molded article that includes thermoplastic resin expanded beads. The molded article has a substantially rectangular shape in a top view, and has a front side and a rear side opposite the front side. The molded article has an average density (Z) of 20 kg/m3 to 50 kg/m3. The molded article includes, on the rear side of the molded article, a rear thin portion having a thickness of 10 mm to 40 mm, the thickness of the rear thin portion being smaller than an average thickness of the molded article. A ratio (Y/Z) of a density (Y) of the rear thin portion to the average density (Z) of the molded article is 1.05 to 3. The rear thin portion of the molded article has a fusion rate of 70% or more.

    Abstract: A resin sheet of the present invention is a checker glass-like resin sheet made of a transparent thermoplastic resin, and includes a plurality of sectional arch-shaped elongated protrusions extending in one direction are regularly arranged in rows on, one surface of the resin sheet; and a plurality of sectional arch-shaped elongated protrusions extending in a direction perpendicular to the protrusions arranged on the one surface are regularly arranged in rows, on another surface of the resin sheet, in which an arithmetic average waviness (Wa) at a vertex of the protrusion in a direction in which the protrusion extends is 20 μm or less on both surfaces of the resin sheet. Accordingly, there is provided a resin sheet that can be used as an alternative to checker glass and has a certain degree of visibility from a short distance while having a shielding property from a long distance.
