Styrene monomer

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 it has a less pleasant smell in high concentration. Styrene is the raw material of polystyrene and some copolymers.


History
Styrene is named for styrax balsam, the gum resin of Liquidambar trees of the plant family Hamamelidaceae. Styrene occurs naturally in small amounts in some plants and foods (cinnamon, coffee beans, and peanuts), and is also found in coal tar. In the 19th century, styrene was isolated from the natural storax henna tree by distillation.
The production of dehydrogenated styrenes from ethylbenzene started in the 1930s.

 

The presence of the vinyl group allows styrene to polymerize. Notable commercial products include polystyrene, ABS, styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubber, styrene-butadiene latex, SIS (isoprene styrene, styrene), S-EB-S (ethylene styrene/butylene terephthalate), styrene divinylbenzene (S- DVB), styrene acrylonitrile resin (SAN) and unsaturated polyester resin used in thermostat compounds. These materials are used in rubber, plastic, insulation, glass wool, pipes, car and boat parts, food containers, and carpet support.
