Polystyrene Molecular Model
Product Code : JA-MS-7259
The Polystyrene Molecular Model (SKU JA-MS-7259) builds a three-dimensional model of polystyrene, showing the repeat unit made from styrene (phenylethene) and the chain it forms. The polystyrene polymer model shows the bulky benzene ring on every second carbon, which explains why the chains cannot pack closely and why polystyrene is rigid. It is used with the other addition polymer models in the range. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
