Styrenic polymers are a class of polymers derived from styrene monomer. The market comprises polymers such as polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile resin (SAN), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). These polymers find wide applications in the construction, automotive, consumer goods, electrical & electronics, and healthcare industries. Styrenic polymers have thermoplastic properties and offer advantages […]

History and Development of Polystyrene polymers Styrene monomers were first isolated from natural materials like storax and balsam of Peru in the early 19th century. However, it was not until the 1920s and 1930s that scientists developed methods to produce styrene on an industrial scale from petroleum derivatives. One of the earliest polystyrene polymers developed […]
