Even though this is a solid, this is made up of foam and whilst being made, carbon dioxide has been pumped into it, meaning that when you compress the polystyrene, the gas is whats being compressed, not the solid surrounding the gas.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.

Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
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.
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
polystyrene is a type of plastic. it is just a normal cube
