This material consists of nano-size silicon flakes each covered with a titanium compound. The flakes possess amazing light scattering properties if mixed with clear varnishes or polymers. An object thus coated will change colour completely according to the viewing angle. The material can be mixed into practically any clear medium to produce optical 'fireworks' and colour changing characteristics.

  • 5g (approx. 20ml) supplied in a clear plastic container
  • Colour shift: red to green

Please note: this small quantity covers a huge area as a surface finish or fills large volumes if embedded in clear resin etc.

  • Cross applications in Science, Design Technology and Art classes.
  • Key Stage 3 Chemistry - Materials: Properties of ceramics, polymers and composites (qualitative)
  • Key Stage 4 Chemistry - Structure, Bonding and the Properties of Matter: Smart Materials and Their Properties.  Bulk properties of materials related to bonding and intermolecular forces
  • This small quantity will cover a huge surface area.
