I am trying to ask about the chemical reaction that take place / the equation involved from SBR to get those hydrocarbon.

This is not easy to answer, because it depends on temperature, pressure and probably catalyst additives.

Generally you can develop from the monomeres styren C6H5-CH=CH2 and Butadien CH2=CH-CH=CH2 the compound what you wish to have.

C8H8 => 4 C2H2

C8H8 => 2 CH4 + 6 C

C4H6 => C2H2 + C2H4

C4H6 => C2H6 + 2 C etc.
