Best Answer

the styrene portion creates linear polymeric structures since styrene is monofunctional. The divinylbenzene is difunctional, so where it is indorporated in a styrene chain, there is one functional group left to react. When this happens in the making of another polystyrene chain, the result is a crosslinked structure. The proportion of divinylbenzene controls the amount of crosslinking. This translates into more or less porosity (allowed permeation in the final polymer) with less or more divinylbenzene.
