MadSci Network: Chemistry |
Previously, someone asked about what highlighters are made out of, however, the answer seem to be explaining the mechanism of action of the glow. I was wondering what chemicals are in highlighters? I'm asking this question because I was able to revive the highlighter by sticking it in alcohol, but that seemed to have diluted the ink... (yes, studying for finals.) so I guess more specifically, I'm asking two things: What's the chemical that makes the glowing ink? What's the excipient that allows the flow of the ink? Thank you!!!
