Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is a transparent thermoplastic, used as an engineering plastic. 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 .
Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (Filipino: Akademiya sa Bapor Pangkalakalan ng Pilipinas; [2] PMMA) is a maritime higher education institution operated by the Philippine government in San Narciso, Zambales. Students are called midshipmen but are often also referred to as cadets.
The principal application, consuming approximately 75% of the MMA, is the manufacture of polymethyl methacrylate acrylic plastics . Methyl methacrylate is also used for the production of the co-polymer methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS), used as a modifier for PVC .
An investigational device exemption (IDE) allows an investigational device (i.e. a device that is the subject of a clinical study [1]) to be used in order to collect safety and effectiveness data required to support a premarket approval (PMA) application or a premarket notification [510(k)] submission to Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

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.
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.
