Recent progresses in polystyrene polymer conversion to value-addedmaterials such as nanostructured pyrolytic carbon coating by chemicalvapor deposition (CVD) pyrolysis method

Most used polymers can't be easily recycled due to challenges in collection, sorting, pre-treatment,and quality of the final products. There are various waste materials, including polymers, most ofwhich are buried or burned, which causes water and soil pollution. Despite spending a lot of moneyon recycling, recovered materials have a lower economic value than the original material. One of thewidely used types of polymers is polystyrene (PS), which in this study is recycled by the pyrolysismethod and turned into valuable material such as coated nanostructured pyrolytic carbon. Pyrolyticcarbon is a type of carbon that use in nuclear, medical, and aerospace industries due to its specialproperties. Pyrolytic carbon has good electrical conductance, high melting point, high mechanicaland chemical resistance, and very good blood compatibility and biocompatibility
