Abstract:
A light producing elastomeric body, comprising:a cross-linked, or gelled elastomeric polymer, wherein said elastomeric polymer is derived from a list of reactive or non-reactive liquid constituents consisting of one or more monomers, one or more monomer and pre-polymers, and mixtures of said one or more monomers and/or pre-polymers; and a plurality of triboluminescent particles, wherein said triboluminescent particles are folded into and dispersed throughout said one or more monomers, or said one or more monomer and pre-polymers, or mixtures of said one or more monomers and/or pre-polymers, said elastomeric polymer mixture, before said elastomeric polymer has cross-linked or gelled to form said elastomeric body.
