POLYSTYRENE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers have been widely used in chromatography, ion exchange and catalyst preparation.

Definition

ChEBI: Styrene is a vinylarene that is benzene carrying a vinyl group. It has been isolated from the benzoin resin produced by Styrax species. It has a role as a mutagen, a plant metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a vinylarene, a volatile organic compound and a member of styrenes.

Solubility in organics

THF (requires annealing/quenching), toluene
