See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Tacticity

Tattoo ink

Tattoo inks consist of pigments combined with a carrier, used in the process of tattooing to create a tattoo in the skin.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Tattoo ink

TFT LCD

A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a type of liquid-crystal display that uses thin-film-transistor technology to improve image qualities such as addressability and contrast.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and TFT LCD

Thermal expansion

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in length, area, or volume, changing its size and density, in response to an increase in temperature (usually excluding phase transitions).

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Thermal expansion

Thermoplastic

A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Poly(methyl methacrylate) and thermoplastic are thermoplastics.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Thermoplastic

Tissue (biology)

In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Tissue (biology)

Tombstone (financial industry)

A tombstone is a type of print notice that is most often used in the financial industry to formally announce a particular transaction, such as an initial public offering or placement of stock of a company.

Toughness

In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Toughness

Trademark

A trademark (also written trade mark or trade-mark) is a type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that identifies a product or service from a particular source and distinguishes it from others.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Trademark

Transmittance

In optical physics, transmittance of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in transmitting radiant energy.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Transmittance

Transparency and translucency

In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. Poly(methyl methacrylate) and transparency and translucency are transparent materials.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Transparency and translucency

Trieste (bathyscaphe)

Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB), also known colloquially as the "white death", or historically as consumption, is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Tuberculosis

Ultimate tensile strength

Ultimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or F_\text in notation) is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Ultimate tensile strength

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Ultraviolet

UV tattoo

UV tattoos or blacklight tattoos are tattoos made with dyes that fluoresce visibly under a blacklight or other ultraviolet (UV) light source.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and UV tattoo

Visible spectrum

The visible spectrum is the band of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Visible spectrum

Water

Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula. Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Water are transparent materials.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Water

Wavelength

In physics and mathematics, wavelength or spatial period of a wave or periodic function is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Wavelength

Window

A window is an opening in a wall, door, roof, or vehicle that allows the exchange of light and may also allow the passage of sound and sometimes air.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Window

World War II

World War II or the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945) was a global conflict between two alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and World War II

X-ray

X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.

See Poly(methyl methacrylate) and X-ray

1972 Summer Olympics

The 1972 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad and officially branded as Munich 1972 (München 1972), were an international multi-sport event held in Munich, West Germany, from 26 August to 11 September 1972.
