What kind of material is PMMA, and what are its characteristics

Have you heard of PMMA? I believe that every friends are very strange to hear this name. What kind of material is it? And what are the characteristics? Next，Shirley will share some information about PMMA for your reference here.

一、 What is PMMA?
PMMA, also known as plexiglass, is by far the best quality in synthetic transparent materials. It is made of acetone, sodium cyanide, methanol, carbonic acid, etc., and is made into methyl methacrylate, and then polymerized, it can be divided into three configurations, atactic, stereoregular, and isotactic structure. These three configurations are divided according to different polymerization mechanisms.
PMMA has the characteristics of hard, non-fragile, highly transparent, weather resistant, chemically stable, easy to process, beautiful in appearance, easy to dye and form, and has become a widely used transparent plastic material.

二、The characteristics of PMMA
(1) The relative molecular mass is relatively high, up to about 100,000;
(2) Less impurities and high transparency；
(3) The bulk polymerization reaction is carried out simultaneously with the molding;
(4) More transparent than inorganic glass;
(5) The toughness is greatly improved compared with inorganic glass, and it is not easy to be embrittled;
(6) It is easier to form than inorganic glass, and it can easily form more complicated products.

三、Why choose PMMA instead of tempered glass and PET ?
PMMA (Plexiglas) has good cutting properties. It can be processed by laser cutting under good conditions. It is simple and of high quality. This feature is not available for tempered glass. Therefore, PMMA can withstand high temperature and low temperature environments. Consumers don't have to worry about the temperature during the production process.

The tempered glass can no longer be cut or processed. It can only be processed into the desired shape before tempering and then tempered.

The protector of PET material has high light transmittance, and there is no residual glue after tearing off, and it is not easy to appear small bubbles in the middle of the screen protector. However, the high degree of glare of such a screen protector causes the user to be unable to see the words on the screen, and at the same time, it is easy to leave fingerprints and the like on the surface.

Now, had we knows why PMMA is chosen instead of tempered glass and PET?

Why Do Some Earphones Sound Better Than Others

Earphones are a  necessity  in life. When we are in the supermarket, we will find that different  earphones have different prices. They all say that there is one cent for one cent. Then, of course, the earphones also have good and bad quality. So what's the  difference  between the good and bad of our most commonly used headphones? ​ First of all, let's start with the  workmanship and materials  of the earbuds. This can be felt by our eyes and hands. Generally, the  original earphone  cable is relatively flexible and soft, and the  biggest advantage  of the original earphone is that it does not worry about compatibility issues. The headset standard is not compatible with mobile phones, and the remote control and microphone functions will be unavailable. Some people may  not be able to  listen to songs  or the sound is  too   low  when they buy headphones. The original is never the case. The original earphone is called because  all standards are made according to mobile p

Does the phone need to install the lens protector

Everyone knows the importance of the  phone screen protector , which can effectively prevent the screen from being broken. But few people pay attention to the  lens protector , leaving the phone lens exposed to danger. ​ Many people think that the lens protector is a very boring thing. Is it  really worth  it to install a lens protector to cover the lens of thousands of dollars? However, the more precious things are, the more easily they are destroyed. Especially for the lens, it is very possible to leave a scratch on the phone camera with a sharp object. Therefore, the lens protector is  very necessary . Many people do not accept the lens protector, that is, after the protector is attached, the picture taken can not show the original camera's shooting effect, it will appear blurred and distorted. There are indeed many inferior mobile phone camera protector on the market. After being attached, there will be color distortion or even glare. However, if a high-alumina glass
