Abstract:
The application of polymer especially polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) has generated
much interest in various industry. In this research, characterization and properties of
(PMMA) has been studied by several techniques. For the first method measurements
reveal the surface morphology of PMMA in a form of powder and thin film. The
image of the both PMMA surface has been carried out by Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM). Infrared detector was used to demonstrate the structure of
PMMA. The result showed the bond group of PMMA in range between 500 cm-
and4000 cm-1 1• The hardness of PMMA was analyzed by Affri Hardness Tester. The
tensile strength has been studied by Testometric M350-5 CT Tensile Tester. The
strength of PMMA thin-film has been compared with the strength of plastic.
