Thermochromic Smart Putty
- RVFM 233-050, This 500g tub of Smart Putty is big enough to provide a whole class a hands-on way to exmplore the properties of thermochromatic pigments & dliatant compounds. This visco-elastic polymers viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain applied to it, meaning that it can display many different physical characteristics; bouncing, snapping, flowing, stretching, or shattering depending upon the force applied to it & the timescale during which that force is applied. Not just very clever & educational, Smart Putty will also provide hours of fun, & is a great stress reliever! Strech it, snap it, shatter it, mould it, change its colour, & bounce away the stress & frustrations of the day. The thermochromatic pigment changes colour when heat is applied; at specific temperatiures the liquid crstals re-orientate to produce an apparent change of colour. The liquid crystal material itself is micro-encapuslate
- contained within a microscopic spherical capsule, billions of these capsules are mixed ith the base to achieve the thermochromatic effect. Thermochromic Putty 500g
