I will search for another polymer, because i have to follow the rules and regulations,
Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.
Styrofoam doesn't have a scientific name, since it is an object, but the closest would be it's official name, polystyrene thermal insulation material.
Oh, dude, it's like this - polystyrene melts when in contact with plastic electrical cable insulation because the insulation material can reach temperatures that are higher than the melting point of polystyrene. So, when they touch, it's like a hot mess waiting to happen. It's all about that heat transfer, man.
You would react with happiness when someone praises your work.
The polystyrene cup is a better insulator than metal, metal is a good conductor of heat and so would transfer the heat from the reaction to the air outside it, where polystyrene keeps the heat inside. This enables you to get a much more accurate reading, as less heat has escaped.
does McDonald's serve coffee in polystyrene containers
Polystyrene is a plastic. I think you meant "polystyrene foam", which would be correct.
No, iron is denser and heavier than polystyrene. An iron ball would weigh more than a polystyrene ball of the same size.
For health hazards of polystyrene, type polystyrene in the ask box, go all the way down to the last definition. Click on the underlined words Health Hazards, and you have a full paragraph on polystyrene.

Someone looking to purchase polystyrene balls can find them at any hobby or craft store. Michael's would carry polystyrene balls. Online, one can purchase them at Amazon or eBay.
Why Would It Be Banned? , No

It is banned. Has been for many years.
Polystyrene (especially the expanded "Styrofoam (R)" type) is a good insulator. Metals are good conductors of heat.The insulating cup will maintain a greater heat differential than the conductor so if there is a liquid in the cup that is at a greater temperature than the surroundings, the metal cup will loose more heat than the polystyrene cup.
polystyrene foam
I can't think of a reason why anyone would want it banned.
