Modern Materials

Ferrofluid, nitinol wire, liquid crystals -- all examples of modern materials that you can now incorporate into your demonstrations. Browse the numerous kits that use these materials and move your classroom into the future.

Aerogel

Aerogel is a low-density porous material that is used for insulation, oil remediation, and it even went into space with the NASA probe Stardust. A little piece of the future.

Amazing Modern Materials—Multi-Demonstration Kit

With the Chemistry, Physics, and Modern Materials Demonstration Kit, explore the building blocks of modern materials. Model four modern material concepts.

Nitinol “Live” Wire

With the Nitinol Wire Demonstration, show how memory alloys function by placing the wire in cold water and hot water. Wire with a memory.

Liquid Crystals—How Do They Do That? Chemical Demonstration Kit

The Liquid Crystals Nanotechnology Chemistry Demonstration Kit is a great survey into nanotechnology. Liquid crystals have properties in-between those of solids and liquids. Molecule order changes with temperature and creates color changes.

Commercial Ferrofluid—Chemical Demonstration Kit

The Commercial Ferrofluid Demonstration Kit consists of 50 mL of ferrofluid—nano-sized magnetic particles suspended in a liquid. You’ll be fascinated as the unique properties of this nanoscience material are displayed, producing 3-dimensional magnetic sculptures.
