What is the difference between polystyrene and Styrofoam?
Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic polymer made from the monomer styrene. Styrofoam is a trademarked brand of expanded polystyrene foam, used for thermal insulation and craft applications. In general, polystyrene refers to the polymer, while Styrofoam specifically refers to the foam product.
What is the chemical name for thermocol?
The chemical name for thermocol is expanded polystyrene (EPS), which is a synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene.
Why are cooler boxes made of polystyrene?
Cooler boxes are often made of polystyrene because it is a good insulator, helping to maintain the internal temperature and keep items cold for longer periods. Polystyrene is also lightweight, affordable, and can be easily molded into various shapes and sizes, making it a practical choice for cooler box construction.
Is polystyrene a covalent bond?
Polystyrene is a polymer made of repeating monomer units of styrene, which is a covalent compound. The bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms within the styrene monomer are covalent bonds.
What is polystyrene use for?
Disposable cutlery, plastic models, CD and DVD cases, and smoke detector housings. Products made from foamed polystyrene are nearly ubiquitous, for example packing materials, insulation, and foam drink cups.
What are some uses of big rings 15 to 20cm diameter?
It depends on what the rings are made of. Steel would be more useful than polystyrene, for instance, and could be used in a game of garden quoits.
Why are lifesaving rings usally made of liquid?
They're not !... They're usually made of porous rubber, encased in an air-tight plastic 'jacket'. The air inside the pores helps keep the 'victim' afloat.
What is polystyrene made?
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
What is styrofoam cups made of?
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
What is styrophom made of?
Polystyrene foam, commonly known as Styrofoam, is made from a petroleum-based plastic called polystyrene. It is created by heating and extruding polystyrene pellets into a foam material that is lightweight and insulating.
What are helmets made from?
Helmets are mostly made from polystyrene
Was polystyrene made mistakenly or purposely?
it was made accidentally
Is Polystyrene made out of plastic?
no of cause not man it is made out of poleaster
Why do fishing nets have polystyrene rings on one side and lead bobs on the other?
my common sense tells me that the polystyrene rings keep the net floating from one end and the lead bobs sink the other end so it will kind of open up for fish to enter and make it easier to pull it up.
Does Polystyrene contain benzene rings?
Yes (and no!) The styrene molecule is a benzene ring with a -CH=CH2 group attached. In the polymerisation process, the double bonds in two adjacent groups are broken and joined to form a chain: -CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-....... with a benzene ring off each -CH- group. I believe the benzene group is referred to as a "phenyl group" in complex molecules, such as polymers like polystyrene.
What type of plastic are car radiator tanks made of?
It's made out of polystyrene and tough nylon together, miced together and made as a solidIt's made out of polystyrene and tough nylon together, miced together and made as a solid
What is Polystyrene beads made from?
Yes, polystyrene beads are safe to use. One can learn more about polystyrene beads at popular on the web sources such as Tempo Foam, eHow, and Wise Geek.
