Effects of selected solvents on PMMA after prolonged exposure: unilateral NMR and ATR-FTIR investigations
Abstract Exposure of heritage plastics to solvents can cause several changes to their surface layers and bulk. The amorphous nature of certain plastics, particularly polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), allows penetration and diffusion of low-molecular liquids, which can lead to swelling, cracking, plast...
