Styrene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 CH=CH 2. Its structure consists of a vinyl group as substituent on benzene. Styrene is a colorless, oily liquid, although aged samples can appear yellowish. The compound evaporates easily and has a sweet smell, although high concentrations have a less pleasant odor.
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is produced like PS-I by graft copolymerization, but with a lower styrene content. Styrene-butadiene rubber thus consists of a rubber matrix with a polystyrene phase dispersed therein. [65] Unlike PS-I and SBC, it is not a thermoplastic, but an elastomer. Within the rubber phase, the polystyrene phase is assembled ...
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (chemical formula (C 8 H 8) x · (C 4 H 6) y · (C 3 H 3 N) z) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). [ 4 ]
Styrene acrylonitrile resin (SAN) is a copolymer plastic consisting of styrene and acrylonitrile. It is widely used in place of polystyrene owing to its greater thermal resistance. The chains of between 70 and 80% by weight styrene and 20 to 30% acrylonitrile. [ 1 ]
Styrene maleic anhydride (SMA or SMAnh) is a synthetic polymer that is built-up of styrene and maleic anhydride monomers. In one copolymer , the monomers can be almost perfectly alternating. [ 1 ] but (random) copolymerisation with less than 50% maleic anhydride content is also possible. [ 2 ]
It is an acrylate rubber-modified styrene acrylonitrile copolymer. It is used for general prototyping in 3D printing, where its UV resistance and mechanical properties make it an excellent material for use in fused filament fabrication printers, [1] particularly for outdoor applications. ASA is also widely used in the automotive industry.

Styrene-butadiene is a commodity material which competes with natural rubber. The elastomer is used widely in pneumatic tires. This application mainly calls for E-SBR, although S-SBR is growing in popularity. Other uses include shoe heels and soles, gaskets, and even chewing gum. [3]
