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).

3. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

   Transparency and translucency. Dichroic filters are created using optically transparent materials. In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. On a macroscopic scale (one in which the dimensions are ...

4. Color gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_gel

   A color gel or color filter (Commonwealth spelling: colour gel or colour filter), also known as lighting gel or simply gel, is a transparent colored material that is used in theater, event production, photography, videography and cinematography to color light and for color correction. [1] Modern gels are thin sheets of polycarbonate, polyester ...

5. List of refractive indices - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

   List of refractive indices. Refraction at interface. Many materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion. Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers.

6. Acrylic paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_paint

   Red acrylic paint squeezed from a tube Example of acrylics applied over another color Experimental pictures with "floating" [1] acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion and plasticizers, silicone oils, defoamers, stabilizers, or metal soaps. [2]

7. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   The characteristics of polycarbonate compare to those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), but polycarbonate is stronger and will hold up longer to extreme temperature. Thermally processed material is usually totally amorphous, [7] and as a result is highly transparent to visible light, with better light transmission than many kinds of ...
