Question

Polystyrene is an example of ___.

• A. elastomer
• B. fibre
• C. cation polymerisation polymer
• D. thermosetting polymer

Answer 1

The correct option is C cation polymerisation polymer

ELASTOMER - $Elastomers$ are rubber-like solids with elastic properties.
FIBRE - Fibre polymers are the thread forming solids with high tensile strength and high modulus.
THERMOSETTING POLYMER - These polymers are cross-linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating undergo extensive cross-linking in moulds and again become infusible.
POLYSTYRENE - $Polystyrene$ is a thermoplastic polymer. It is formed by cation polymerisation. Hence, it is an example of a $cation$ $polymerisation$ $polymer$.
