Abstract

A method of manufacturing a thermoplastic polyester foam sheet comprises forming a roll by overlapping a thermoplastic polyester sheet and a separator on each other and rolling them, impregnating an inert gas into the thermoplastic polyester sheet while the roll is kept in a pressurized inert gas atmosphere, and foaming the thermoplastic polyester sheet by heating it under atmospheric pressure.
