3. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates ( PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many ...

4. Bulletproof glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproof_glass

   Bulletproof glass, ballistic glass, transparent armor, or bullet-resistant glass is a strong and optically transparent material that is particularly resistant to penetration by projectiles. Like any other material, it is not completely impenetrable. It is usually made from a combination of two or more types of glass, one hard and one soft. [1]

5. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

   A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. [1] [2] Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymer chains associate by intermolecular forces, which weaken rapidly with increased temperature, yielding a ...

6. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

   Poly ( methyl methacrylate) ( PMMA) is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is used as an engineering plastic, and it is a transparent thermoplastic. PMMA is also known as acrylic, acrylic glass, as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux, Hesalite, Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex, among several others ( see ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_for_use_in_vacuum

   Torr-Seal, or its generic equivalent Hysol-1C (US brand name) or Loctite 9492 (EU brand name), is an epoxy with resin and hardener for use in vacuum environments. It will begin to degrade at high temperatures but otherwise is very stable with very little outgassing. Other vacuum-rated epoxies are also available.
