Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a thermoplastic polymer known for its closed-cell structure, offering greater strength and superior mechanical performance compared to its close alternative, expanded polystyrene (EPS). Although more costly, XPS is commonly used as rigid foam insulation in residential floors, roofs, walls, ceilings, and balconies due to its high compressive strength and excellent moisture resistance

Smart polymers are a class of advanced materials that exhibit dynamic properties, enabling them to respond to environmental stimuli such as temperature, light, pH, or other chemical or biological triggers. These polymers are engineered to undergo specific physical or chemical changes in response to these external conditions, making them highly versatile and functional in various applications.

Vinegar is a sour liquid produced through the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. It is commonly used in cooking as a condiment, preservative, and flavoring agent. Vinegar comes in various types, such as apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and wine vinegar, and is known for its versatility in both culinary and health applications. It can also serve as a natural remedy for digestive issues and weight management due to its acetic acid content.

Surface treatment chemicals are specialized compounds used to modify the surface properties of materials such as metals, plastics, or glass without altering their core structure. These chemicals enhance characteristics like corrosion resistance, adhesion, wear resistance, and appearance by cleaning, coating, or preparing surfaces for further processing (e.g., painting, plating, or bonding). They play a critical role in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, construction, and manufacturing to improve both the performance and longevity of finished products.

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are advanced materials capable of absorbing and retaining extremely large amounts of liquid relative to their own mass. Commonly made from sodium polyacrylate or other cross-linked polymers, SAPs can hold up to 300-800 times their weight in water. They are widely used in products like diapers, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence products, and medical dressings, as well as in agriculture, horticulture, and industrial applications due to their superior moisture retention and absorption properties.

Super abrasives refer to a class of advanced materials used for precision grinding, cutting, and machining applications. These materials are known for their exceptional hardness, high thermal conductivity, and superior mechanical strength, making them highly effective for demanding industrial processes.

Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers are mainly composed of homopolymerized blocks of butadiene and styrene links. They offer exceptional tensile strength and surface friction coefficient, low￾temperature performance, electric properties, and good workability. SBS block copolymers can be used as a substitute for conventional vulcanized rubber owing to their high viscosity and elasticity. They can also be used as adhesives and sealants because of their tenacious properties.
