Abstract
Abstract What is disclosed are a method for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate or a monomer mixture predominantly comprising methyl methacrylate, which comprises polymerizing in the presence of a free radical-forming initiator and in the presence of a sterically hindered amine containing at least one group having the formula <IMAGE> wherein R is the same or different alkyl, R' is hydrogen or alkyl, and A is a 2- or 3-membered alkylene chain which may be bound to a further organic group, polymer sheets prepared by such a method, and the use of such sheets in solaria.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A method for making a methyl methacrylate polymer having high resistance to ultraviolet radiation and thermal damage, which method comprises polymerizing methyl methacrylate or a monomer mixture comprising at least 80 percent by weight of methyl methacrylate in the presence of a free radical-forming initiator and in the presence of 0.01 to 1 percent, by weight of the methyl methacrylate or monomer mixture, of a sterically hindered amine of the formula where n is an integer such that the number average molecular weight of the amine is somewhat greater than 3000.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
91 words
A method for making a methyl methacrylate polymer having high resistance to ultraviolet radiation and thermal damage, which method comprises polymerizing methyl methacrylate or a monomer mixture comprising at least 80 percent by weight of methyl methacrylate in the presence of a free radical-forming initiator and in the presence of 0.01 to 1 percent, by weight of the methyl methacrylate or monomer mixture, of a sterically hindered amine of the formula where n is an integer such that the number average molecular weight of the amine is somewhat greater than 3000.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
92 words
A method for making a methyl methacrylate polymer having high resistance to ultraviolet radiation and thermal damage, which method comprises polymerizing methyl methacrylate or a monomer mixture comprising at least 80 percent by weight of methyl methacrylate in the presence of a free radical-forming initiator and in the presence of 0.01 to 1 percent, by weight of the methyl methacrylate or monomer mixture, of a sterically hindered amine of the formula ##STR8## wherein n is an integer such that the number average molecular weight of the amine is somewhat greater than 2500.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
