During the next four years many additional new polymers were synthesized. Most proved of little commercial value, but the list includes three of the top-ranked popular plastic families - the polyvinyls used for phonograph records and floor tiles polyacrylics (such as Lucite) used in paints, airplane windows and buna N and buna S, two versions of synthetic rubber. Thus few households are not affected by even his early contributions. 

A streak camera is set up with the slit parallel to the long axis of the Lucite rod a photograph like that shown in Fig. 5-12(B) is obtained. This yields the shock velocity and the free surface velocity on the same photograph. In later work it was found that a coating of paint filled with microballoons (very tiny, hollow plastic spheres) could be substituted for the argon-filled gap with equal effect.

The homopolymer provides clear sheet products (Perspex, Lucite), and copolymers are used in coatings and paints. U.S. production is approaching 500 kilotonnes per annum.
