Question:
It is possible to make syndiotactic polystyrene, although most polystyrene is atactic. Syndiotactic polystyrene melts at 2708C while atactic polystyrene melts closer to 2408C.
(a) Why might this difference in structure result in different boiling points?
(b) If your supplier charges 20% more for syndiotactic polystyrene, what factors of a design might call for using this material despite the higher cost?
