Patent ID: 8404163

Claim:
A method for producing a molded article by molding a molten resin, characterized in that said method includes the steps of supplying a high-pressure carbon dioxide at 7 MPa or higher and a subject material dissolved therein, into said molten resin, kneading said molten resin into which said high-pressure carbon dioxide and said subject material have been supplied, and exhausting said high-pressure carbon dioxide from said kneaded molten resin, said method further including the following steps before said supply of said high-pressure carbon dioxide and said subject material dissolved therein, into said molten resin; supplying a high-pressure carbon dioxide at 7 MPa or higher having a metal complex and said subject material dissolved therein, into said molten resin, and kneading said molten resin having said metal complex, said subject material and said high-pressure carbon dioxide supplied thereinto, wherein, after the start of said exhaustion of said high-pressure carbon dioxide from said kneaded molten resin, said supply of said high-pressure carbon dioxide and said subject material dissolved therein, into said molten resin is started.
