   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 ...

3. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

   Structure of a polyacrylate 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.

4. 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.

5. Thermoforming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming

   Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet, or "film" when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that permits it to be ...
