Polystyrene has many properties useful for this purpose.
It is solid, but contains a LOT of air, so it can hold components in placed without adding much weight.
Additionally, while holding components in place, it will also allow certain types of radiation to pass through it. This can be important in certain applications that channels radiation for other purposes.

What type of reaction does the hydrogen bomb use?
Fission
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
What is the molecular formula of a hydrogen bomb?
There is no such thing. The hydrogen bomb is a very complicated mechanism, not a chemical!
Who invented the nitrogen bomb?
no such thing. maybe you meant hydrogen bomb.
How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.
What elements are in atom bombs?
if the bomb is a fission bomb it will use uranium 235 for fuel. if the bomb is a thermonuclear bomb (fusion) it will use the element hydrogen and an isotope of hydrogen for fuel.
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
Why hydrogen bomb is harmful for living beings What is the use of making a hydrogen bomb why only hydrogen bomb?
The Hydrogen bomb being harmful to humans should be realtivley self explanatory... making them was to use them as a deterent to the russians or any other nuclear aggressor. hydrogen bombs were not the only kind that were developed. there were others as well.
Can we use hydrogen bomb to minimize tsunami?
Yes
What type of reaction does the hydrogen bomb use?

What is degree of destroy that hydrogen bomb can do?
What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
What bomb was made after the A-bomb?
The Hydrogen bomb.
What bomb was invented after the a-bomb?
The Hydrogen Bomb .
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
