What is a homo polymer?
a polymer which is obtained by the polmerisation of only one type of monomer is known as a homopolymer eg:teflon, polyetheleyne etc...if it is constituted of more than one type of monomer( simpler units) then the polymer is known as copolymereg:dacron, buna s etc
What is the other name for polystyrene?
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
What is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene?
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
Can POLYSTYRENE be frozen?
Yes, polystyrene can be frozen. Freezing polystyrene can help preserve food or keep it fresh for longer periods. However, extreme temperature changes can cause polystyrene to become brittle and potentially crack.
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.
Polyphenyl is homopolymer or copolymer?

Is polystyrene biodegradable?
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
What is rigid polystyrene?
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
What are the properties of polystyrene?
Polystyrene can be manufactured with a variety of different characteristics, depending on the plasticisers incorporated into it and whether or not it is created as a foam. As a result, the desired characteristics depend on how it is going to be used.
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 does the word polystyrene mean?
Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
What is the other name for polystyrene?
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
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.
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 styrofoam cups made of?
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
