Chapter 3- Experimental

3.1 Methodology

In order to produce PMMA, some steps need to be followed.

PMMA is generally made by mixing 20 cm3 of Methyl Methacrylate monomer with 0.1-0.3 g of Lauroyl peroxide initiator. It needs to be poured into a steel or glass mould and heated up by submerging the mould into a water or oil bath at 100 °C. Once the glycerine stage has been shaped, the mould is put into a cold water bath. 3.2 Source of the material The types of material that would be used for this project is Methyl Methacrylate [monomer] and 1, 1’-AZOBIS (CYCLOHEXANECARBONITRILE) [Initiator] and Lauroyl peroxide (Luperox) [Initiator]. The materials are not ...

Fittig and Paul were the first chemists to discover the polymerization process of turning methyl methacrylate into polymethyl methacrylate in 1877. Later on, in 1936 the process was used to manufacture acrylic plastics for commercial purposes. PMMA is highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation and weathering and is an ideal material for making airplane windshields, automobile taillights, and skylights (Riegel et ...
