Uyini Umlando Wokuthuthukiswa Kwe-Acrylic?

Njengoba sazi sonke, i-acrylic ibizwa nangokuthi i-plexiglass ephathwe ngokukhethekile. Ingilazi ye-Acrylic iyi-thermoplastic ecacile elula futhi engaqhekeki, okwenza ibe yindlela ekhangayo esikhundleni sengilazi. Izinhlobo zengilazi ezenziwe ngabantu zisukela emuva ku-3500 BC, futhi ucwaningo nentuthuko ye-acrylic inomlando weminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu.

Ngo-1872, kwatholakala i-polymerization ye-acrylic acid.

Ngo-1880, kwaziwa ukuthi i-polymerization ye-methyl acrylic acid yaziwa.

Ngo-1901, ucwaningo lokwenziwa kwe-propylene polypropionate lwaqedwa.

Ngo-1907, uDkt. Röhm wayezimisele ukwandisa ucwaningo lwakhe lobudokotela ku-acrylic acid ester polymerisate, into engenambala futhi esobala, nokuthi ingasetshenziswa kanjani kwezentengiselwano.

Ngo-1928, inkampani yamakhemikhali iRöhm and Haas yasebenzisa okutholakele kwayo ukudala iLuglas, okwakuyingilazi yokuphepha esetshenziselwa amafasitela ezimoto.

UDkt. Röhm wayengeyena yedwa owayegxile engilazini yokuphepha – ekuqaleni kwawo-1930, osokhemisi baseBrithani e-Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) bathola i-polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), eyaziwa nangokuthi ingilazi ye-acrylic. Bathengisa ukutholwa kwabo kwe-acrylic ngokuthi i-Perspex.

Abacwaningi bakaRöhm noHaas balandela eduze; ngokushesha bathola ukuthi i-PMMA ingafakwa i-polymer phakathi kwamakhasi amabili engilazi bese ihlukaniswa njengephepha layo lengilazi le-acrylic. URöhm wathengisa lokhu njenge-Plexiglass ngo-1933. Cishe ngalesi sikhathi, i-EI du Pont de Nemours & Company eyazalelwa e-United States (eyaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi i-DuPont) nayo yakhiqiza inguqulo yayo yengilazi ye-acrylic ngaphansi kwegama elithi Lucite.

Ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe II, ngamandla amakhulu nokuqina kanye nokudlulisa ukukhanya, i-acrylic yaqala ukusetshenziswa efasiteleni langaphambili lezindiza kanye nesibuko samathangi.

Njengoba iMpi Yezwe II yayisondela ekupheleni, izinkampani ezenza ama-acrylic zabhekana nenselele entsha: yini ezazingayenza ngokulandelayo? Ukusetshenziswa kwezentengiselwano kwengilazi ye-acrylic kwaqala ukuvela ngasekupheleni kwawo-1930 nasekuqaleni kwawo-1940. Izimfanelo zokumelana nokuphahlazeka ezenza i-acrylic yaba yinhle kakhulu kuma-windshields nasemafasiteleni manje sezikhule zaba ama-visor ezigqoko, amalensi angaphandle ezimotweni, izimpahla zamaphoyisa zodlame, ama-aquarium, ngisho "nengilazi" ezungeze ama-hockey rinks. Ama-Acrylic atholakala nasemithini yesimanje, kufaka phakathi ukuxhumana okuqinile, ukushintshwa kwe-cataract, kanye nokufakelwa. Ikhaya lakho cishe ligcwele ingilazi ye-acrylic: izikrini ze-LCD, izingilazi ezingaqhekeki, ozimele bezithombe, izindondo, imihlobiso, amathoyizi, kanye nefenisha konke kuvame ukwenziwa ngengilazi ye-acrylic.

Kusukela yasungulwa, ingilazi ye-acrylic iye yazibonakalisa iyindlela engabizi futhi eqinile yezinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi.

Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20, i-DHUA ibilokhu ingumkhiqizi ohamba phambili weshidi le-acrylic kanye neshidi lesibuko le-acrylic. Ifilosofi yebhizinisi ye-DHUA ihlale ifana kakhulu - ihlinzeka ngemikhiqizo yokukhanya esezingeni lomhlaba kumakhasimende aphezulu. Xhumana ne-DHUA namuhla ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngomkhiqizo wabo we-acrylic, ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza, kanye nezinsizakalo ezenziwe ngezifiso zezidingo zakho ze-acrylic.
