Abstract: A method for producing polypropylene-based resin (PPBR) expanded beads may include dispersing, first expanding, and second expanding. In the dispersing, resin particles are dispersed in a dispersion medium, the resin particles each including a core layer, containing carbon black blended into PPBR in a predetermined ratio, based on 100 parts by mass of PPBR, and a covering layer covering the core layer, containing carbon black blended into a polyolefin-based resin (POBR) in a predetermined ratio, based on 100 parts by mass of POBR. The first expanding expands the core layer of the resin particle to obtain a first expanded bead having a bulk ratio of 5 to 25 times. The second expanding expands the first expanded beads further to obtain second expanded beads. An M2/M1 ratio of a bulk ratio M2 of the second expanded beads to a bulk ratio M1 of the first expanded beads is 1.2 to 3.0.

Abstract: A method for producing polypropylene-based resin expanded beads each having a through-hole by performing a first expanding step and a second expanding step is provided. In the first expanding step, tubular resin particles containing carbon black and having through-holes are dispersed in a dispersion medium and released to an environment under a low pressure, thereby obtaining first-step expanded beads having a bulk ratio of M1 times. In the second expanding step, the first-step expanded beads are further expanded to obtain polypropylene-based resin expanded beads having a bulk ratio of M2 times. The bulk ratio M1 is 5 times or more and 25 times or less. A ratio M2/M1 of the bulk ratio M2 to the bulk ratio M1 is 1.2 or more and 3.0 or less.

Abstract: A modified expanded bead that includes an expanded bead which includes a specific base polymer (β) and a coating layer which includes a specific base polymer (α). The coating layer covers at least part of an outer surface of the expanded bead. The melting point Tα of the base polymer (α) and the melting point Tβ of the base polymer (β) satisfy a relationship of 0≤Tα−Tβ≤20. When the modified expanded bead is cut into two halves along a cutting plane to form two half portions and thereafter one of the two half portions is cut along planes perpendicular to the cutting plane to form ten small pieces, outermost pieces among the ten small pieces have a xylene-insoluble content (B) which is less than a xylene-insoluble content (A) in the half portion and the xylene-insoluble content (A) is 10-80% by mass.
