If there is pressure on the inside and outside of a plastic bottle what is causing the force?
All liquids and and gases have pressure. Pressure is also a force but does not depend on area it acts. Pressure is arising from its own weight. The molecules in liquids and solids areattracted downward due to earth's mass(gravitational force). The impact of this gravitational force per unit area is the pressure. if there is a liquid or gas there must be pressure. the magnitude of pressure inside a plastic bottle depends on the weight of the air in it.

What are the differences between high impact polystyrene and ordinary polystyrene?
Ordinary polystyrene is better known as cristal polystyrene or GPPS (General purpose polystyrene) It is a hard very transparant and britlle plastic. One of the best know uses is cd-box. To improve the toughness of this plastic rubber is added during the manufacture. This synthetic rubber (polybutadiene) is divided trough the polystyrene in the form of small droplets ,The size and the composition of the rubber droplets will determine final properties. A lot of applications will be made with mixtures of GPPS and HIPS (HIPS is high impact polystyrene). The stiffness of HIPS is a lot lower than the stiffness of GPPS, hence the mixtures. One well known application is yoghurt cups.

Can i use high impact polystyrene for lost foam casting?
No. High impact polystyrene is a very hard plastic. If you tried doing a lost-foam casting you'd just make a mess.You make a lost-foam casting by creating a styrofoam model of your finished piece, packing casting sand around it to create a mold, then pouring metal into the mold. When the hot metal touches the foam, it vaporizes.You could make your model out of high impact polystyrene then use that to create a cope and drag mold.
