Abstract
In this paper, flame-resisting PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate) sheet was manufactured and its characteristics were tested. PMMA was synthesized by bulk polymerization of a monomer methyl methacrylate with addition of phosphorous flame retardant, triethyl phosphate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross linking agent. PMMA sheet was manufactured by using the cell molding method, which does not alter or affect the existing property of PMMA. Then the characteristics of PMMA sheet were tested for the TEP content, the content and curing time of EGDMA. As TEP content increases, the length of carbonization lessens and the amount of char production increases. As a result, it strengthened the effect of flame retardants. But the hardness of the sheet decreased as TEP content increased. However, hardness increased when EGDMA was added up to 3 wt% while curing time was decreased from 3 hours to 2 hours. There was no change of hardness when more than 3 wt% of EGDMA was used.
