Best Answer

Although some people claim that a Canadian named Dr. William Chalmers invented the plexiglass in 1931, there is evidence that he was not in fact the originator of the idea. There were two German inventors who started working on plexiglass long before 1931. Their names were Dr. Walter Bauer and Dr.Otto Rohm.
