AB This work presents the light transmission through a collection of solid cellular polymers based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with cells sizes covering the micro and nano-scale. The obtained resultsshowed that the behavior of light transmission when cell size is in the nano-scale is opposite to the oneshown by microcellular foams or the one predicted by theoretical models of light scattering (LS). In fact,the expected trend is that a reduction of cell size increases the opacity of the samples. However, fornanocellular polymers based on amorphous polymers reducing the cell size increases the light transmission.Therefore, this result indicates that a further reduction of the cell size could result in cellular polymersoptically semi-transparent.
