Author: J.R. Wünsch
Published: 2000
Number of Pages: 176 (This is a soft-backed is from the Rapra Review Reports, Vol. 10, No. 4, Report 112.)

This review describes the production of styrene polymers in detail, including the synthesis of raw materials, polymerisation routes to polystyrene, production of high impact polystyrene and anionic block copolymers. The review also describes the mechanical properties of styrenic polymers, their electrical properties, and their behaviour in fire. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database gives useful references for further reading.

Author / Editor Details: Josef Wünsch has been with BASF AG since 1992, and has been involved in product development and technical service for a wide range of styrenic materials, including packaging grades, syndiotactic polystyrene, styrene-butadiene block copolymers and thermoplastic elastomers.
