Polyglutarimide

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009142",
  "term": "Polyglutarimide",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer whose macromolecules contain glutarimide rings, six-membered cyclic imides, in the backbone. It is usually made by treating poly(methyl methacrylate) or a related polyacrylate with an amine such as methylamine, which closes the rings with loss of alcohol, so the product normally still holds some residual acrylic units. Polyglutarimides have a higher glass transition temperature than the parent acrylic polymer and remain transparent.",
