Which risk increases significantly when attempting laser cutting of PMMA?

💡 Explanation

During laser cutting, exposing PMMA to high-intensity light induces *chain scission*, which breaks polymer chains, releasing monomer gas because of depolymerization. Therefore, monomer formation increases drastically at these temperatures rather than other photochemical effects since energy input is very high.
