A vinylic polymer of styrene, CH{2}CHphenyl
High molecular weight thermoplastic resins produced generally by the free-radical polymerization of styrene monomer [C6H5CHCH2] which can be initiated by heating alone but more effectively by heating in the presence of free-radical initiator (such as benzoyl peroxide [(C6H5CO)2O2] Typical processing techniques are modified mass polymerization or solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, and expandable beads Major markets for polystyrene are in consumer and institutional products, electrical/electronic uses, and building/ construction
Combustible, transparent plastic with high strength and impact resistance Excellent electrical and thermal insulator Widely used for packaging, injection moulding, insulation and lamination
