Abstract
A formable, porous chemiluminescent reactant composition, device therefore, and a process for production thereof is disclosed. The fluidizable solid admixture of the instant invention may be cured to a more or less rigid form with or without the use of a mold. The cured solid is useful as a chemiluminescent reactant component and is useful in a variety of environments.
Claims50
A chemiluminescent reactant composition comprising:
- a chemiluminescent reactant solution and a first particulate polymeric resin in amounts effective to yield a slurry upon admixture thereof;
- and
- a second particulate polymeric resin in admixture with said slurry in an amount effective to yield a fluidizable solid admixture.
A chemiluminescent composition comprising:
- a first chemiluminescent reactant component including a chemiluminescent reactant solution and a first particulate polymeric resin in amounts effective to yield a slurry upon admixture thereof and a second particulate polymeric resin in admixture with said slurry in an amount effective to yield a fluidizable solid admixture;
- and
- a second chemiluminescent reactant component;
- wherein contact between said first and second chemiluminescent reactant components will result in generation of chemiluminescent light.
A process for the production of a chemiluminescent reactant composition, comprising:
- admixing a chemiluminescent reactant component with a first particulate polymeric resin in an amount effective to yield a slurry;
- admixing a second particulate polymeric resin with said slurry, in an amount effective to yield a fluidizable solid admixture.
A multi-dimensional chemiluminescent device comprising:
- at least one first chemiluminescent reactant composition including a first chemiluminescent reactant component having a first particulate polymeric resin in an amount effective to yield a slurry and second particulate polymeric resin admixed to said slurry in an amount effective to yield at least one fluidizable solid admixture;
- wherein said at least one fluidizable solid admixture is dispersed within a multi-dimensional container, whereby densification of said fluidizable solid admixture causes formation of said multi-dimensional chemiluminescent device;
- whereby contacting said device with a second chemiluminescent reactant component will result in generation of chemiluminescent light.
