This same effect can be made by chewing wintergreen life savers. Parts: Duct tape 3M brand seems to work the best Tools: A working pair of hands.
Take a strip of duct tape and fold over each end to make a tab so that you have a place to hold on to when you rip it apart. Then, fold it in half on to itself. The charges then attempt to recombine and collide with nearby molecules of tape, glue, or air exciting them and releasing light. Interestingly, in a vacuum there is no air to slow down the charges so they collide at full energy and release x-rays. This serves as the basis for the sticky-tape x-ray machine published in the journal Nature.
Want to master Microsoft Excel and take your work-from-home job prospects to the next level? A more recent reboot involves Wint O Green lifesavers, in which the wintergreen oil methyl salicylate absorbs the higher frequency photons from the sugar reaction to give off the lower frequency blue-green light.
In addition to the wrappers, triboluminescence occurs in certain brands of duct tape and Scotch tape. I have also seen it with Post-It Notes. Tape consists of four components: backing , which is the tape itself, a primer on the backing to help the adhesive stick to it, an adhesive for the sticking to the target thing, and a release coating , on top of the adhesive so it doesn't stick to itself when it's rolled up. Adhesives in tape are pressure sensitive. They need to stick to what's applied adhesion and to itself cohesion.
Van der Waals forces work at close proximity between molecules with different charges.
