Description and Uses

Methyl methacrylate is one of the most common methacrylates. This acrylic monomer, the essential component of the fluid mixed to the powder, may cause allergic contact dermatitis mainly in dental technicians and dentists. Cases were also reported in those using seulptured nails and in ceramics workers.

PMMA/HA (Hydroxyapatite) composites have be used in biomedical applications such as dentistry, orthopedic retainers, and bone replacement. It has been used as substrate for graphene growth.
Some studies report its use as
PMMA-titania hybrid optical thins films
PMMA/polystryrene/clay nanocomposites
PMMA/polyurethane/carbon black nanocomposites for methanol fuel cells.
