General description
Polystyrene is a high molecular weight synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of styrene. It is durable, thermoplastic, and hydrophobic in nature.
Application
Polystyrene(PS) can be used as a precursor to synthesize dye-doped fluorescent PS nanoparticles, which can be applied in the field of optical microscopy, cell tracking, and optical sensors.
It can be used to stabilize the perovskite component by forming PS-capped perovskite grains. This PS coverage can suppress the organic component evaporation, and water corrosion and promotes crystal self-healing of perovskite films.
Due to its optical clarity, low production cost, and ease ofmanufacture, it is widely used as a fundamental substrate for in vitrocell culture.

This study was conducted with the aim of achieving the simultaneous screening of various additives in polymer materials by utilizing a solvent-free pyrolyzer/thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py/TD-GC-MS) method. As a first step to achieve this goal, simultaneous screening

Dextran and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are often covalently bound to the surface of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for the purpose of modifying its hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. In this work, the effects of the dextran and PEG on the morphology, wetting, and surface

Our previous results on the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages (Mϕs) toward poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid microspheres (PLGA MS) loaded with the anti-tuberculosis agent rifampicin (R-PLGA MS) suggest that the phagocytosis of R-PLGA MS enhances the phagocytic activity of Mϕ cells. To
