"Glow in the Dark" How to make a Pemanent Reusable Glow stick

IMPORTANT:
All content here meant to be Educational,None of the above experiment should be repeated on your own.

This is tutorial video on How to make a Glow stick in Glow in the Dark style. The materials in this experiment are simple, Epoxy resin, Straw, and some Phosphor Powder.
Phosphor Powder carries property of Phosphorescence, which is a specific type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. Dont confuse this with Chemiluminescence used in Commercial Glow stick, which depends on energy of chemical reactions.

I know how to make Zinc Sulphide. can you tell me how to dope the ZnS with copper? Where I live, commercial glow-in-the-dark powder is hideously expensive, and online purchase out of the question. Thanks.

[Cforchemistry]

you can try to doped the Zinc sulfide via trace amount addition of copper nitrate or chloride. I am still experimenting with it, so please feel free to explore.

[chrisofcolombia]

Thanks for the reply.

I have heard that one needs to combine the ZnS with the dope at very high temperatures for it to work - do you have any ideas re the process? Do I heat the substances together in a crucible? Can it be done over a bunsen burner or do I need a furnace?

[Cforchemistry]

I am not quite sure about the industrial process, but simply mix it may provide sufficient activation. I don't know whether heating make any better.

What does Dysprosium nitrate do? Glows too right?

[Cforchemistry]

Itself do not glow, It act as doper to help glow powder glows

[FutureLaugh]

WOW!!! it barely works.

[whatsupandnew]

i am doing this for the science whoop whoop

[Poet0fDarkness666]

so many big words O_O

[discaras]

so to dope the zinc sulfide

you mix zinc sulfide with copper chloride or nitrate ?just that?

[Teseia]

where should i buy copper doped Zinc Sulfide?

[MasterChief241]

where did you get the syringe
