Expanded polystyrene production process One introduction The expanded polystyrene particle with functional skin layer according to claim 1, wherein the vinyl acetate based polymer includes a vinylacetate homopolymer, or a copolymer of vinyl acetate and at least one monomer selected from a group of consisting of vinyl esters, acrylic esters, fumaric acid esters, carboxylic acids, vinyl alcohols, butadienes, caprolactones, and a mixture or a blend thereof, and wherein the vinyl acetate based polymer has a degree of polymerization (DP) of 10 to 100,000. TWO the process and technologhy  The invention claimed is: An expanded polystyrene particle with a functional skin layer comprising: an inner expanded polystyrene layer; and a functional skin layer, wherein the inner expanded polystyrene layer is formed by heating and expanding an expandable polystyrene bead or pellet, and the functional skin layer is formed by coating the surface of the inner expanded polystyrene layer with a functional coating composition having 10 to 99 wt % of a vinyl acetate based polymer and 0.1 to 90 wt % of at least one functional additive.  The expanded polystyrene particle with functional skin layer according to claim 1, wherein the functional skin layer has a thickness corresponding to 0.003 to 10% of the overall diameter of the particle, and has 1 to 95 wt % of the total weight of the particle.  The expanded polystyrene particle according to claim 1, wherein the functional additive is selected from the group consisting of expanding agents, nucleating agents, lubricants, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, ultraviolet stabilizers, biostabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, plasticizers, colorants, impact-resistant agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents, crosslinking agents, fluorescent whitening agents, thermal conductivity-imparting agents, electrical conductivity-imparting agents, permeability modifiers, magnetism-imparting agents, surfactants, stabilizers, excipien
