A Hugoniot study on PMMA manufactured by Polycast Technology Corporation

Matthews, J.D.; Weirick, L.J.

A series of impact experiments on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) manufactured by Polycast Technology Corporation has recently been completed using a light gas gun. The intent of this work was to compare these Hugoniot data with those data from a previous study on PMMA manufactured by Rohm and Haas. The results show that there are no significant differences in Hugoniot parameters for the two materials in the pressure range of 1.9 to 6.9 GPa. 8 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs.
