AND POLYSTYRENE PART 1 1. What date was the video taken? = 21/10/2010 2. What is the initial thickness of the callipers as first shown?= 6490mm 3. What is the time on the when last sample breaks ( ±5 s)? = 2.55 s Abstract Polystyrene is hard but brittle thermoplastic‚ less flexible and ductile at room temperature than Polyethylene because the phenyl group in its repeating unit increases the strength of intermolecular forces present in crystalline due to its weak polarity. Polystyrene has a

ever know that the term “Styrofoam” is a proper noun? It is the trademark of Dow Chemical Company for their invention of a closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam ‚ or Styrofoam‚ used for craft and construction applications‚ packaging‚ and thermal insulation. However‚ in some countries‚ the term styrofoam is used as a generic term for expanded polystyrene expanded foam. Styrofoam has a number of purposes in the human world. It is because of its distinctive characteristics‚ properties and features

1. Introduction & Background of the study Styrofoam is a trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam currently made for thermal insulation and craft applications examples of these Styrofoam are disposable coffee cups‚ coolers‚ or cushioning material in packaging. Styrofoam is widely used for insulator and packaging. The disposal of these products creates environmental pollution because of their non-degradable nature. Because of this problem‚ people think a possible way to reduce

POLYSTYRENE: RECCOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LEADERS OF THE LOCAL INSTITUTIONS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM By: Tammy L Drake AOCI 1010-Section 1A (Introduction to Sociology) Professor Julio C. Caycedo Introduction and Thesis Statement What is Styrofoam? Styrofoam is actually a trade name of a polystyrene foam product used mainly for housing insulation and craft applications‚ but can be seen elsewhere. The scientific name for Styrofoam is polystyrene. It is a petroleum-based plastic made from the

Design of a Polystyrene Plant for Differing Single-Pass Conversions November 25‚ 2013 Introduction Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics‚ with applications ranging from food packaging to appliances to manufacturing (Maier). On an industrial scale‚ polystyrene is derived from its monomer‚ styrene. This is achieved by free-radical polymerization of a solution of monomer‚ polymer‚ and initiator. This reaction is a multistep radical reaction that

HIPS 4440‚ used for a variety of purposes for decades. Since developing the first synthetic fiber--nylon--from research on large molecules called polymers‚ DuPont has remained a leader the field. In addition to Elvax®‚ DuPont makes high impact polystyrene (HIPS)‚ which is also produced by other manufacturers. ELVAX® 150W: Manufactured by DuPont‚ Elvax® is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA). It is flexible‚ resilient‚ tough‚ and resistant to ozone or environmental stress cracking

and is water resistant. To make it more resilient and boosts its resistance to water‚ a small amount of clay is blended. - When it comes to its durability‚ the result‚ based on the scientists‚ is a material that has all the same properties of polystyrene foam‚ but is 98 percent bio-based. At 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit)‚ the milk-containing foam lets out a few drops of water. But the foam stays sturdy up to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
