Acrylic Can Make Light Detours

Acrylic can make light detours, and everyone will find it incredible. Acrylic Industry Network explains to you here:

Speaking of acrylic, I believe everyone has heard of it. At first glance, it does not seem to be much different from ordinary glass, but in fact they are completely different.

The parents of ordinary glass are silicate, while the parents of acrylic are acetone, methanol and hydrogen cyanide.

Acrylic’s scientific name is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA in English). The name is very awkward to pronounce, because it is a synthetic polymer, so people generally call it plexiglass (acrylic).

Acrylic has an amazing performance, a curved plexiglass rod, as long as the curvature does not exceed 48 degrees, light can follow it and project like water through a water pipe. How fun light can make detours! Using this stunt, it has become a treasure of manufacturing and surgical light-transmitting glass instruments.

For example, when a doctor performs an operation in an operating room, he does not have to worry about seeing clearly.
