Application

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a versatile polymer known for its exceptional clarity and ability to transmit light effectively, making it suitable for various optical applications. It is a rigid, transparent substance that performs well outdoors, exhibiting minimal color change even under harsh weather conditions. The polymer is not only a good electrical insulator at low frequencies but also possesses a high dielectric constant. PMMA's resistance to water, alkalis, and most dilute acids, along with its low optical absorption and reflection properties, further supports its diverse usage. In biomedical fields, PMMA is utilized for its non-toxic nature and ease of processability, notably in bone cements and cranioplasty, where it provides superior fracture resistance. Additionally, it finds applications in molecular separation and optical devices due to its mechanical properties and refractive index. PMMA can also serve as a host matrix in polymeric gel electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells, and its compatibility for use in such advanced applications makes it an efficient substrate in nanotechnology.
