Acrylic is a type of plastic that is specifically made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Acrylic is often used in applications where transparency and impact resistance are important, such as in aquariums or displays. Plastic is a general term that encompasses a wide range of synthetic materials, including acrylic, that can be molded into various shapes for different uses.
No, Perspex is not a semiconductor. It is a type of transparent plastic material known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Semiconductors are materials that have conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator.
Plastic is a more generic term. "Plastic" literally means something like "moldable". Acrylic is a specific type of the kind of material generically called "plastic." Specifically, acrylic polymers are made of derivatives of acrylic acid. One specific acrylate polymer is PMMA, poly(methyl methacrylate), also called Plexiglas.
The specific thermoplastic glass is (polymethyl methacrylate). It includes the trademarked product called Plexiglas. It is also included in the mixture used for durable dental crowns. The groups of materials included in "acrylics" (derived from acrylic acid) can be either very hard, or pliable, or any hardness in between, depending on the specific chemical components.

how can I tell the difference between acrylic and oil paint on my wall?
There is little difference between many acrylics and latex paints.
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic, is a synthetic polymer that gets harder as the number of carbon atoms in the polymer chain increases. This is because longer polymer chains result in more extensive interactions between the polymer chains, contributing to increased strength and hardness.
Acrylic is chemical based resin whereas plastic emulsion is water based.
what is the difference between acrylic and pvc
.
Acrylic will melt while resin doesnot although it may soften. Not sure, maybe the smell is different when they burn.
