Styrene, also known as ethenylbenzene, vinylbenzene, and phenylethene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH=CH2. This derivative of benzene is a colorless oily liquid that evaporates easily and has a sweet smell, although high concentrations have a less pleasant odor. Styrene is the precursor to polystyrene and several copolymers. Approximately 25 million tonnes (55 billion pounds) of styrene were produced in 2010.
Polystyrene is produced by free radical vinyl polymerization, from the monomer styrene. This is a better picture of what the monomer styrene looks like: Go ahead, play with it! Polystyrene is also a component of a type of hard rubber called poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene), or SBS rubber.olystyrene is produced by free radical vinyl polymerization, from the monomer styrene.
