What type of adhesive should be used for bonding materials to polystyrene, and what are the characteristics of a polystyrene compatible adhesive?
A solvent-based adhesive is recommended for bonding materials to polystyrene. A polystyrene compatible adhesive should have low viscosity, good wetting ability, and should not contain solvents that can dissolve or damage the polystyrene surface.
Is hexane is good solvent for polystyrene?
Yes, hexane is a good solvent for polystyrene. It effectively dissolves polystyrene due to its non-polar nature, which matches the non-polar characteristics of polystyrene. However, it’s worth noting that while hexane can dissolve polystyrene, it may not be the most efficient solvent compared to other organic solvents like toluene or xylene, which may provide better solubility and faster dissolution rates.
Why is polystyrene useful as a clothing material?
Polystyrene is not typically used as a clothing material due to its characteristics. Polystyrene is more commonly known for its use in packaging and insulation due to its lightweight and insulating properties, rather than in the clothing industry.

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?
