Difference Between Styrene and Polystyrene
Styrene and polystyrene are two important organic compounds with a wide range of applications. The key difference between styrene and polystyrene is that it is the polymerization of styrene that forms polystyrene, a synthetic thermoplastic elastomer. Styrene is chemically called vinyl benzene and is among one of the oldest known vinyl compounds in the world. This aromaticcompound was first isol...
متن کاملPolystyrene-Polylactide Bottlebrush Block Copolymer at the Air/Water Interface
Hydrophobic ultrahigh molecular weight bottlebrush block copolymer and linear block copolymer of polystyrene-polylactide (PS-PLA) were shown to be capable of forming Langmuir monolayers and exhibiting unique assembly behaviors at the air/water interface, which cannot be addressed by the classic theory of Langmuir monolayer of amphiphilic copolymers. New models were proposed to illustrate these ...
متن کاملLong-ranged attraction between charged polystyrene spheres at aqueous interfaces.
We report an optical and atomic force microscopic study of interactions between charged polystyrene spheres at a water-air interface. Optical observations of bonded particle clusters and formation of circular chainlike structures at the interface demonstrate that the interaction potential is of dipole origin. Atomic force microscope phase images show patchy domains on the colloidal surface, ind...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Sulfonated Polystyrene Systems
INTRODUCTION Polymer blends are of great interest because they provide an economical route to design and produce novel materials that meet the challenging requirements for industrial applications. Recently, a variety of experimental and theoretical work has been conducted as a means for producing materials with improved properties compared to those of its constituents. Some of the findings sugg...
متن کاملChemical bath deposition of textured and compact zinc oxide thin films on vinyl-terminated polystyrene brushes
In this study we investigated the influence of an organic polystyrene brush on the deposition of ZnO thin films under moderate conditions. On a non-modified SiO x surface, island growth is observed, whereas the polymer brush induces homogeneous film growth. A chemical modification of the polystyrene brushes during the mineralization process occurs, which enables stronger interaction between the...
