Abstract
An object of the invention is to prevent an oil from penetrating into a vessel obtained from expandable thermoplastic resin beads through molding. The above object is achieved by expandable thermoplastic resin beads whose surface or surface layer is coated or incorporated with a fluorine-containing block copolymer comprising of a fluorine-containing vinyl-type polymer segment derived from a fluorine-containing vinyl-type monomer and a lipophilic vinyl-type polymer segment derived from a lipophilic vinyl-type monomer.
