2. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

   Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is used as an engineering plastic, and it is a transparent thermoplastic. PMMA is also known as acrylic, acrylic glass, as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux, Hesalite, Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex, among several others (see below).

   Saint-Gobain is currently capable of producing 0.43" thick (as grown) sapphire, in 12" × 18.5" sheets, as well as thick, single-curved sheets. [23] The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is currently investigating use of this material in a laminate design for transparent armor systems. The Saint Gobain Group have commercialized the capability to ...

4. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

   Acrylate polymer. An acrylate polymer (also known as acrylic or polyacrylate) is any of a group of polymers prepared from acrylate monomers. These plastics are noted for their transparency, resistance to breakage, and elasticity. Acrylate polymer is commonly used in cosmetics, such as nail polish, as an adhesive. [1]

5. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   extrusion with cylinders into sheets (0.5–20 mm (0.020–0.787 in)) and films (below 1 mm (0.039 in)), which can be used directly or manufactured into other shapes using thermoforming or secondary fabrication techniques, such as bending, drilling, or routing. Due to its chemical properties it is not conducive to laser-cutting.

6. Cast acrylic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_acrylic

   Cast acrylic. Cast Acrylic is a form of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). It is formed by casting the monomer, methyl methacrylate, mixed with initiators and possibly other additives into a form or mold. Sheet and rod stock are generated by casting into static forms, while tubing is done in rotational molds.

7. Transparency (projection) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(projection)

   Transparency (projection) Overhead projector in operation, with a transparency being flashed. A transparency, also known variously as a viewfoil or foil (from the French word "feuille" or sheet), or viewgraph, is a thin sheet of transparent flexible material, typically polyester (historically cellulose acetate), onto which figures can be drawn.
