Does anybody know where I could get information as to what common

PMMA?
For a more general question: What is the best resource on the Web for
finding out what solvents attack a given material?
Thanks,

Dear Mike,
The solvents that dissolve PMMA are dimethylformamide (DMF) and Diethyl carbonate (DEC). DEC work even much better with that.
the non-solvents of PMMA are propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC) and gamma buterolactone (GBL). They are not the all but the most, according to my on calculations which agree with Hansen solubility theory.
I hope this helps you in somewhat. and should you have any further inquiry I am happy to give a hand.
Good luck
