No, pure Polystyrene (PS) is quite brittle; hence, General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) does not yield. It breaks right after passing over its limit. However, the weakness of polystyrene, which is brittleness, is overcome when it is made into High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). Having a higher breaking strain after polymerization, it is able to yield before breaking. Thus, from this tensile testing experiment, GPPS does not have yield strength, while HIPS has yield strength of 26.175N/mm2.

What is the crystal structure of polystyrene?
Polystyrene typically exists in an amorphous state, meaning it lacks a crystalline structure. However, at very high pressures or with the addition of certain chemicals, polystyrene can exhibit a crystalline structure with a monoclinic crystal lattice.
Is polystyrene biodegradable?
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
What is rigid polystyrene?
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
Why is polystyrene called polystyrene?
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
Why was methanol an appropriate solvent to precipitate polystyrene?
Methanol is used to force polystyrene OUT of solution. So the simple answer is: you can't. But, there is probably an extreme temperature or pressure that allows polystyrene to remain in solution with methanol present.
What country is polystyrene from?
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
What is polystyrene made?
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
What does the word polystyrene mean?
Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
What is the other name for polystyrene?
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
What is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene?
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
What is the best adhesive for polystyrene materials?
The best adhesive for polystyrene materials is a solvent-based adhesive specifically designed for bonding polystyrene. These adhesives create a strong and durable bond between polystyrene surfaces.
What is styrofoam cups made of?
