PMMA ignites at 460 °C (860 °F) and burns, forming carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide, and low-molecular-weight compounds, including formaldehyde. [17] PMMA transmits up to 92% of visible light (3 mm (0.12 in) thickness), [18] and gives a reflection of about 4% from each of its surfaces due to its refractive index (1.4905 at 589.3 nm). [3]
Poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) is a family of organic polymers with the formula (CH 2 CHCO 2 CH 3) n.It is a synthetic acrylate polymer derived from methyl acrylate monomer. The polymers are colorless.
MMA was discovered by Bernhard Tollens and his student W. A. Caspary in 1873, [5] who noticed and described its tendency to change into a clear, hard, transparent substance especially in sunlight. [6]
IUPAC Polymer Nomenclature are standardized naming conventions for polymers set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and described in their publication "Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature", which is also known as the "Purple Book".
Poly(allyl diglycol carbonate) (PADC) is a plastic commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses alongside the material PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). The monomer is allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC). The term CR-39 technically refers to the ADC monomer, but is more commonly used to refer to the finished plastic.
Traditionally, PMMA (acrylic) comprises the core (96% of the cross section in a fiber 1mm in diameter), and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. Since the late 1990s much higher performance graded-index (GI-POF) fiber based on amorphous fluoropolymer (poly(perfluoro-butenylvinyl ether), CYTOP [1]) has begun to appear in the marketplace.
Methacrylic acid, abbreviated MAA, is an organic compound with the formula CH 2 =C(CH 3)CO 2 H. This colorless, viscous liquid is a carboxylic acid with an acrid unpleasant odor.
Alternatively, SMA is applied using its transparency in combination with other transparent materials like PMMA or the heat resistance to heat-boost other polymers materials like ABS or PVC. The solubility of SMA in alkaline solutions makes it suitable for various applications in the field of sizings (paper), binders, dispersants and coatings.
