What is the advantage of synthetic polymer over glass? OR Why is glass being

replaced by synthetic polymers?

1 Answer

Answer :

Glass is being replaced by light and transparent synthetic polymers like poly methyl

metacrylate polymers. The advantages of polymers are that they are unbreakable, light

and scratches on polymers can be removed by wiping with acetone.
