Polymethyl methacrylate trade name

Methyl methacrylate is only one of a family of monomers, including the various esters of acrylic, methacrylic, and ethacrylic acids, which are polymerized to produce the thermoplastic resins known as the acrylates. A wide variety of reactions and starting materials may be utilized for their production however, the principal commercial product is polymethyl methacrylate, sold by Du Pont and Rohm Haas under the trade names of Lucite and Plexiglas, respectively. These materials were introduced to the United States market in 1936 (44) and have received widespread acceptance due principally to their outstanding optical properties. Production in 1949 was reported as about 22,000,000 to 25,000,000 pounds and peak wartime capacity was above30,000,000 pounds. While this can account for only about 2% of the current production of propylene for chemical purposes, the acrylate resins are of considerable commercial importance as they are sold at a relatively high price and are the only materials available that will meet the requirements for certain military and civilian products.

For example, most prototype devices use polymethyl methacrylate CPMMA, trade name PLEXIGLASS) as a substrate material. PMMA has an index of refraction of about 1,49, This produces an escape probability of 26% for isotropic absorption and emission, and an escape probability of 29% for dipole absorption and emission of perpendicularly incident light.
