Acetone is a solvent that breaks down Styrofoam, which results in the Styrofoam dissolving in Acetone similar to how sugar does in water. Styrofoam is a polystyrene that has been pumped with air.

Acetone vapor-sensing experiments using the integrated system: (a) smartphone user interface for (i) function menu, (ii) frequency scanning, (iii) resonance tracking, and (iv) user-defined PID ...
