Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a flammable liquid that can be used for paint, coatings, adhesives and medical applications. However, it is usually polymerised to make polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a rigid transparent plastic originally manufactured in the early 1930s and widely known by its Persp...
methacrylate (CH2=C[CH3]CO2CH3), a flammableliquid. Methyl methacrylate, in bulk liquid form or suspended as fine droplets inwater, is polymerized (its molecules linked together in large numbers) under the influence of free-radical initiators to formsolidPMMA. The structure of thepolymerrepeating...
However, it is usually polymerised to make polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a rigid transparent plastic originally manufactured in the early 1930s and widely known by its Perspex, Plexiglas and Lucite trade names.Lightweight, stress-resistant, and able to withstand years of UV and weather exposure...
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) of a chemical formula of (C5O2H8)nis a synthetic acrylic polymer based on a methyl methacrylate monomer. The chemical structure of the PMMA polymer repeating unit is shown in Fig.1a. Due to its unique properties, such as high transparency, biocompatibility with...
a thermoplastic linear polymer of methyl methacrylate: The primary commercial product is known as organic glass. PMMA, with a molecular weight of up to 2 × 106, is exceptionally transparent, with high permeability for visible and ultraviolet light; it also has good physical, mechanical, and elec...

The knowledge of the properties of PMMA has contributed a lot to the recent boosts in the synthesis, modification, and applications of the polymer. However, there is a need to condense these developments in the form of an article for better understanding and easy access. This review highlights...
PMMA has the same levels of autofluorescence of glass of the same thickness, however chloroform can change the polymer crosslinking on the surface, which may increase the autofluorescence of PMMA substrates. We also explored chloroform vapour as an effective approach for bonding PMMA-based microfluidic...
The morphologies of those polymer blends show a “co-continuous structure” (shown in Fig. 1B). In those blends, the fracture energy is dissipated effectively through the deformation of continuous network of elastomers. During the deformation of the network, shear bands form and absorb large ...
Full size image In vapor phase lamination or semiconductor lamination, for polymer bonding, oxygen ions (O–) are used to destroy the surface of the polymer, so that the polymer surface forms an unstable bond-breaking layer, and the metal surface and the unstable layer form an attractive force...
