polystyrene is not heavy can be heavy in certain places though
No, iron is denser and heavier than polystyrene. An iron ball would weigh more than a polystyrene ball of the same size.
No, polystyrene is a poor thermal conductor. Its structure with trapped air pockets makes it a good insulator, which means it does not conduct heat well. This makes polystyrene commonly used in thermal insulation applications.
polystyrene along with other porous (objects which have a lot of air in them) such as Styrofoam water, wood and other materials are insulators, not conductors.
The refractive index of polystyrene is typically around 1.59 at room temperature and visible wavelengths of light. However, the exact value can vary depending on the specific formulation and conditions of the polystyrene material.
No, polystyrene is less dense than water, so it will float on the water's surface rather than sink.
an ounce...
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
Its quite fun to pretend your King Kong and break the polystyrene!
