Research Summary

General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) is a versatile and widely used thermoplastic polymer derived from styrene monomers. It is a transparent, rigid, and amorphous plastic with a range of applications. GPPS is known for its clarity and ease of processing, making it suitable for products requiring optical transparency, such as packaging materials, disposable tableware, and CD cases. It can be easily molded or extruded into various shapes, and its affordability contributes to its popularity in both consumer and industrial applications. GPPS also serves as a base material for the production of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, commonly used in packaging, insulation, and construction. Despite its favorable properties, GPPS has limitations in terms of impact resistance and heat resistance compared to other engineering plastics, which may influence its suitability for specific applications.
