AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around synthetic paper produced by Decro, which is similar to the material used in "Fatheads." This paper, available in 44" x 100' rolls, is primarily made from polypropylene and is commonly used for banners and signs. A key concern raised is the burn characteristics of this material, especially as it is being used for indoor decorations. The original poster attempted to contact Epson for information but was unsuccessful. Another participant suggests that this material may be similar to Tyvek and recommends sourcing inexpensive samples from eBay for testing purposes, such as wristbands and envelopes, to assess its burn properties.

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with this synthetic paper made by Decro?
It is very similar to the material that those "Fatheads" are made out of. This paper comes in 44" x 100' rolls and is used to make banners, signs, etc.
It has a base material of polypropylene. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find some of the burn characteristics since we are starting to have people using it as a decoration indoors. I attempted to call Epson but hit a dead end. Thanks.

Is this what's sold as 'tyvek'? If so, you can get a few sheets from ebay for pennies (eg wristbands, envelopes, overalls) and do your tests on those?
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
