16 EOH 2006 carried through fiber optic cables. To demonstrate the concepts of fiber optics, a fiber optic “cable” made using a long glass plate with two prisms mounted on top will be displayed. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult students will be able to participate in creating their own polymer slime out of Elmer’s glue and Borax solution. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: gs,hs Self Healing Polymers Luminescence Roger Adams Lab 600 S. Mathews, Urbana UMO This project will demonstrate the phenomenon of luminescence showing what it is and how it works. There will be several interactive demonstrations for everyone to see. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: All UMO This project will give a physical example of self-healing materials showing how they are made and how they work. The healing process will be demonstrated with caramel or taffy. This project will also explain the potential uses for self-healing materials in industry and everyday life. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: All Map Code: R Roger Adams laboratories is home to the Department of Chemical Engineering. Materials Show 2006 UMO A fun, informative video presentation of Materials Science and Engineering and its application into our everyday world. Although the video topic changes each year, the results don’t. It is still the reigning #1 public favorite project as voted by EOH visitors last few years. Room Number: 119 This exhibit is suitable for: All Shape Memory Alloys UMO After a brief overview of what a shape memory alloy is and the phases of it that allow for shape memory, there will be numerous demos showing a few applications and examples of shape memory alloys. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: gs,hs Nerf-Ball...istic Transport (in Carbon Nanotubes) Stick it to Me: The Materials Science Behind Hockey UMO This exhibit explains how carbon nanotubes might be used to make faster and smaller electronic devices in the future. It also includes a basic overview of the material properties for single walled carbon nanotubes and how they are made. Nerf-balls are used to compare the way electrons move through a crystal lattice versus a nanotube to illustrate “ballistic” transport. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult UMO Our project explores the composite materials which make up the many aspects of hockey. These aspects include the pads, stick, helmet, puck, and artificial ice. Come see how to create composite hockey pucks and test their strengths. Location: 1st Floor Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: All Sub-par Putting Polymer Slime UMO After a basic presentation about polymers (structure and properties) UMO Sub-par Putting? Don’t be “puttoff” by the sub-par performance of your current golf putter! Explore the potential of using other engineering materials like ceramics in the sports, specifically golf, industry. Challenge your friend to a putting competition and try out our all ceramic putter, will
