The best transparent polymer glass

      The abbreviation for plexiglass is PMMA. The chemical name of this transparent polymer material is polymethyl methacrylate, which is a polymer compound polymerized from methyl methacrylate. It is an important thermoplastic developed earlier.

      Organic glass has a high degree of transparency. It is currently the best transparent polymer material with a transmittance of 92%, which is higher than the transparency of glass. The tubes of a solar lamp called an artificial little sun are made of quartz because quartz can completely transmit ultraviolet light. Ordinary glass can only transmit 0.6% of ultraviolet light, but plexiglass can transmit 73%.
