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.

The separation efficiencies of three different asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) channel designs were evaluated using polystyrene latex standards. Channel breadth was held constant for one channel (rectangular profile), and was reduced either linearly (trapezoidal profile) or exponentially (exponential profile)
