ABSTRACT
The synthesis of new polymeric materials having complex properties has recently become of great practical importance to polymer chemistry and technology. The synthesis of new materials can be prepared by either their monomers or modification of used polymers in industry. Today, polystyrene (PS), which is widely used in industrial applications as polyolefins and polyvinylchlorides, is also used for the production of plastic materials, which are used instead of metals in technology. For this reason, it is important to synthesize different PS plastic materials. Among the modification ofPS, two methods can be considered, viz. physical and chemical modifications. These methods are extensively used to increase physico-mechanical properties, such as resistance to strike, air, or temperature for the synthesizing of new PS plastic materials.
