[NewCandle] that which reacteth not and is clear

[Nick Reiter]

Hey folks,

I need some materials selection advice.  The topic is
a casimatter experiment, liquid phase.

Are there any (hopefully low viscosity) liquid
compounds that:

1.  Would be able to non-reactively suspend / enclose
micron to submicron spherules of aluminum...

AND

2.  Have as low an absorption or high a transparency
as possible, out past 250nm heading blue-ward.

Sam Faile suggested ethanol... but a really GOOD
anhydrous high purity grade of ethanol.

Any other suggestions?

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. 
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
