Why you use polystyrene in hydrogen bomb?
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.
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 is the reaction of polystyrene and acetone?
The mixture of Polystyrene and Acetone results in the creation of a sticky residue as the Polystyrene beads dissolve into the Acetone. You can use Nail polish remover with Acetone. However, the chemical reaction occurs at a much more rapid pace with pure Acetone.
What is Raw material of a polystyrene cup?
The raw material of a polystyrene cup is polystyrene plastic, which is derived from styrene, a petroleum-based hydrocarbon. The polystyrene undergoes a process called extrusion or injection molding to form the shape of the cup.
Why does fish oil dissolve polystyrene?
Fish oil contains compounds called hydrocarbons, which are known to have a solvent effect on polystyrene. When fish oil comes in contact with polystyrene, the hydrocarbons can break down the bonds holding the polystyrene together, causing it to dissolve.
Is styrofoam the same as polystyrene?
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
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.

What is polystyrene made?
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
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.
