Polystyrene Disk

Polystyrene Disk is a machined form of polystyrene (PS), a lightweight, amorphous thermoplastic noted for its rigidity, ease of processing, and excellent optical clarity. In disk form, it provides a stable, dimensionally consistent substrate for applications requiring transparency and precision shaping. Industries including optics, biomedical devices, and microfabrication employ polystyrene disks for prototyping, optical windows, and labware components. Specific applications include use as substrates for thin film deposition, transparent holders in microscopy setups, and components in diagnostic equipment. In research, polystyrene disks are investigated for surface modification, interaction with solvents, and use as model polymer substrates for adhesion and coating studies. Their balance of mechanical stability, low cost, and optical clarity ensures they remain an essential material for scientific experiments and industrial prototyping where predictable performance and transparency are required.
