Polystyrene is a thermoplastic, which means it softens when heated and can be molded into different shapes but retains its solid structure after cooling.
It is a thermoplastic! :)
a synthetic thermoplastic material obtained by polymerizing styrene; used as a white rigid foam (expanded polystyrene) for insulating and packing and as a glasslike material in light fittings and water tanks
