Glow-in-the-Dark Rubber
Custom Rubber Corp., in partnership with one of its primary material suppliers,
has successfully compounded and processed glow-in-the-dark urethane rubber.
Although still in the preliminary stages of development, all indications are
that the compound, once molded, will glow for a number of hours before gradually
losing the glow. (Continued below.)
(ref. #105225)
Photoluminescence is a process in which a chemical compound absorbs a photon
with a wavelength in the range of visible electromagnetic radiation, thus transitioning
to a higher electronic energy state, and then radiates a photon back out, returning
to a lower energy state. In other words, the material absorbs light and gradually
re-emits that light over time until it has to be "re-charged" with
light energy.
Aside from the rubber wristband fad and a few rubber ducks, Custom Rubber
believes that this may be one of the first examples of successfully molding
a durable, dense rubber material that glows in the dark.
