Location: Southwest Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All Biomaterials: Artificial Blood Vessels BEYOND IMAGINATION 15 Future Technology: Today! Illinois Space Society For those of you who wonder what NASA has brought us besides a few hundred pounds of moon rocks and pictures of stars, wonder no more! Come see what new technologies and products have evolved from the space program. Location: Southwest Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All UMO This project will be displaying the current state of artificial blood vessels, as well as future goals and research. In addition, we will be demonstrating the effects of bioactive and nonbioactive surfaces in contact with blood. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: gs Conducting Polymers The Fun of Flight Illinois Space Society Ever wonder what it might be like to fly in outer space? Come find out. Location: Southwest Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All The Race for Space Illinois Space Society Think you know all there is about space exploration? Test your knowledge in our trivia game and see if your answers can send the shuttle into orbit. Location: Southwest Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All UMO This project investigates the property of conductance in polymers. Polypyrrole, polyaniline, or Polyethylenedioxythiophene will be investigated in order to conduct electricity and complete a circuit. This project will expose the solubility and ease at which polymer circuits can be manipulated as well as the flexible properties of these circuits. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult Materials Science and Engineering Building 1304 W. Green, Urbana Map Code: M The Material Science and Engineering Building holds labs and offices for the Department of Material Science and Engineering. Crystals and Synthetic Crystallization Materials Science & Engineering Building UMO This project seeks to examine the effects of material selection on guitar string performance. The project will explore the variability of tonal quality as a function of string composition, as well as investigating the tonal “lifespan” of guitar strings in order to optimize string performance. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult Materials Selection in Guitar Strings and Tonal Applications Electronic Paper UMO In this project, we will explain the process of crystallization, show examples of the nucleation of polymer crystals, and also give a demonstration of the growth of sugar crystals. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: gs,hs UMO This project explains the basic designs of electronic paper. An upscale demonstration of the concepts behind electronic paper will be presented through a fun game of tick-tack-toe. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: gs,hs Fiber Optics UMO Using the basic principles of refraction and total internal reflection, this exhibit will show how light waves are
