PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an energy absorbing member having an excellent impact absorbing effect. SOLUTION: The energy absorbing member is made of a synthetic resin foam body formed in a direction substantially orthogonal to an impact pressure receiving surface, and provided with two ribs 3 substantially parallel with each other. A ratio H/T between the height H(mm) and the thickness T(mm) of two ribs 3 is 3 to 5. On the impact pressure receiving surface and/or the opposite surface of the impact pressure receiving surface, a notch 6 is formed at an outer corner along the width direction of the two ribs 3.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bumper core material of an impact absorbing bumper capable of absorbing collision energy without generating impact force to destroy legs of a pedestrian up to nonrecoverable states, even when a collision with the pedestrian occurs at comparatively fast speed of 40km/hour. SOLUTION: This bumper core material is made of polyorefin resin foam of density 0.045 to 0.20g/cm 3 . Maximum thickness in front and rear directions of the core material is ≤15cm. When a compression test (test speed: 500mm/min.) by a pipe having a diameter of 70mm is performed, a ratio F 20 /F 40 of compression load (F 20 ) at 20% strain and compression load (F 40 ) at 40% strain is 0.75 to 1.30, and a radio of F 60 /F 40 of compression load (F 60 ) at 60% strain and the compression load (F 40 ) at 40% strain is 0.75 to 1.30.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small piece of a polyester resin foam which is formed into moldings of foam pieces with good biodegradability revealing itself upto the interior of the moldings as well as the moldings of foam pieces. SOLUTION: The small pieces of a polyester resin foam are characterized in that the polyester resin containing at least 60 mol.% aliphatic ester component in the main chain is a base material resin and the ratio (Dt/Db) of the true density Dt (g/cm3) to the bulk density Db (g/cm3) is 1.7-3 and the average weight of one small piece of the foam is 1-10 mg and further, the bulk density Db (g/cm3) is 0.008-0.035 g/cm3. The moldings of the small pieces of the polyester resin foam having communicating spaces are obtained by filling a molding die with the small pieces of the polyester resin foam and thermally molding the small pieces.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small, lightweight, and sophisticated bumper core capable of absorbing collision energy without generating high impact even when it collides with a pedestrian at a relatively high speed. SOLUTION: The bumper core of the present invention is a front bumper core 10 made of a polypropylene-based resin foam having a density of 0.06-0.20 g/cm 3 . The bumper core is compose of two or more U-shaped parts each of which consisting of at least two legs and a front surface, and a connection part. The horizontal opening 15 of the U-shaped part is located at the back, and the connection part connects the legs at the back of the frontmost surface of the U-shaped part in the cross direction of the core, thereby connecting the U-shaped parts in the substantially vertical direction of the core.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high density and high stiffness molding of foamed particles, by charging propylene-based resin foamable particles in a mold or the like, and heating and foaming the foamable particles. SOLUTION: This molding of propylene-based foamable particles is obtained by heating and molding the propylene-based resin foamable particles. The molding product has 0.11-0.45 g/cm3 density, and >=155 (kgf/cm2)/(g/cm3) value obtained by dividing the maximum flexural strength (kgf/cm2) measured by JIS K7221, by the density (g/cm3). The molding product also has 5-100/mm2 average number of bubbles on the cross section of the molding product. The molding can solve the problem of reducing the appearance possessed by the conventional high-density molding product of the propylene-based resin foamable particles, and the problem of not sufficiently providing the effect of the improvement of the stiffness accompanied by the lowering of the magnification of the expansion.
