polistirene
Also known as PS, poly(styrene), polystyrenes, PS plastic, poly(1-phenylethylene)
polimero dello stirene
AI overview
Polystyrene is a lightweight plastic material commonly used to make everyday products like yogurt containers, takeout cups, and protective packaging. It matters because it's inexpensive and easy to mold into detailed shapes, making it useful for food storage and shipping, though its environmental impact is a significant concern.

Il polistirene (chiamato anche polistirolo), è il polimero dello stirene. È un polimero aromatico termoplastico dalla struttura lineare. A temperatura ambiente è un solido vetroso; al di sopra della sua temperatura di transizione vetrosa, circa 100 °C, acquisisce plasticità ed è in grado di fluire; comincia a decomporsi alla temperatura di 270 °C. Il polistirene espanso si presenta in forma di schiuma bianca leggera, spesso modellata in sferette o , e viene usato per l'imballaggio e l'isolamento. Chimicamente inerte rispetto a molti agenti corrosivi, è solubile nei solventi organici clorurati (ad esempio diclorometano e cloroformio), in trielina, in acetone e in alcuni solventi aromatici come benzene e toluene.
