Yes, glow sticks are made with luminescent materials called phosphors. When the chemicals inside the glow stick mix together, the reaction produces light through a process called chemiluminescence.
Yes, neon is not commonly used in glow sticks. Glow sticks typically contain hydrogen peroxide, a dye, and a chemical called phenyl oxalate ester, which all contribute to the chemical reaction that produces light. Neon gas is used in neon signs and lighting due to its bright glow when electrified.
Glow sticks are typically made of a plastic outer casing that contains a mixture of chemicals. The chemicals usually include hydrogen peroxide, a phenyl oxalate ester, and a fluorescent dye. When the glow stick is bent and cracked, the chemicals mix and create a chemical reaction that produces light.
No, glow sticks are not made of the element Neon. They typically consist of hydrogen peroxide, a dye, and a fluorescent compound contained within a plastic tube. When activated, a chemical reaction occurs, causing the glow stick to emit light.
Radium self luminescent paint hasn't been used in decades since the hazards of it's ionising radiation became widely known. Modern technology of self luminescent paint seems to be based on tritium gas in a similar concept to tritium glow sticks but instead contained within micro particles. These micro particles can be painted on or made in to solid plastic. It is self luminous for 20+ years with a 12 year half-life. The company MPK who invented it calls the technology Litrospheres and also has plans for using it to self power solar panels as an energy source. At the present time this self luminescent paint, plastic or energy source technology has not been made available to the public.
No, glue sticks are a type of thermal adhesive.
Glow sticks are used for many purposes and are widely used by military forces as a light source and light markers. They are made of waterproof materials which are less expensive.

Many are made in China.

There is a guide for homemade glow sticks on wikihow. They have two ways listed, and also a video if that would help you more. This should show you how to make some glow sticks!
No, but glowsticks contain phosphorus(an element), that is made from urine.
Yes, neon is not commonly used in glow sticks. Glow sticks typically contain hydrogen peroxide, a dye, and a chemical called phenyl oxalate ester, which all contribute to the chemical reaction that produces light. Neon gas is used in neon signs and lighting due to its bright glow when electrified.
glow sticks are made of Cyalum. they glow by a light producing chemical reaction which is dormant until the two glass or plastic sperated chemicals are mixed
