PMMA, polymethyl-methacrylate, is a thermoplastic acrylic linear polymer, the mer of which is illustrated in the diagram. PMMA is transparent, with a refractive index of 1.49, and easily formed into ...

According to a study published in Science, polymer scientists at ETH Zurich discovered an unexpected method for nearly completely breaking down PMMA plastic, also known as Plexiglas, into its monomer ...

Acrylic polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate)—the plastic used in Plexiglas—are durable materials with a huge variety of commercial applications. But the all ...

Plexiglass (aka polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA) is made up of long polymer chains, which in turn consist of a series of linked monomer molecules. Because these chains are very uniform in ...

A research team from Shanghai-based East China University of Science and Technology has made a significant breakthrough in ...

Acrylic (PMMA) Hard, brittle, shiny, available in a wide range of colours Resists weather well, can be cut, folded and polished well, scratches easily, used for car headlights, visors and baths ...
