polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a durable, transparent plastic commonly used as an alternative to glass. Known for its clarity, impact resistance, and lightweight nature, it is used in applications like eyeglasses, car taillights, medical implants, and signs. Chemically, it's a synthetic polymer made from methyl methacrylate monomers, creating a strong, weather-resistant material. Its versatility, combined with ease of fabrication and aesthetic appeal, makes PMMA a popular choice across industries for both functional and decorative purposes.
