The thermal properties of the optical polymer (PMMA - poly(methyl methacrylate) after the radiation were evaluated using Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). <br /> <br /> Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/6-53/374" target="_parent">PDF</a> <br /> <br /> <strong>References</strong> <ol> <li>O.
