Styrene is primarily used in the synthesis of polymeric materials, with smaller quantities employed as solvents and intermediates in fine chemicals. It is an unsaturated aromatic hydrocarbon compound with the mf C8H8 and mw 104.149. It occurs naturally in storax resin (a natural fragrance) as a colorless, oily liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. Its molecular structure centers on a “benzene ring + vinyl group (-CH=CH₂)” configuration. The unsaturated bond in the vinyl group confers strong polymerization activity, while the benzene ring provides stability and aromatic properties.
