Syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) is able to form different kinds of co-crystalline phases with guest molecules of different size, shape and property. Several advanced materials have been produced starting from s-PS co-crystalline films. In particular, sulfonated s-PS (s-sPS) can be used as proton-con...
