It is usually referred by its genericized (but still legally protected by intellectual property law) name Styrofoam. The trademark is owned by Dow Chemical Company.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
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.
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.
There are a number of examples. On such is Styrofoam - used in cups. It is expanded polystyrene.

Styrofoam, known for its foamy appearance, is also known as polystyrene. It is composed of polymers, which makes it a type of plastic.
