Silly Putty medium when spray painting model assemblies. The Steward Observatory uses a Silly-Putty backed lap to grind astronomical telescope mirrors. Researchers from Trinity College Dublin School of Physics (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) and Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research (AMBER) Research Centers) have discovered nano composite mixtures of graphene and Silly Putty behave as surprisingly sensitive pressure sensors, claiming the ability to measure the footsteps of a spider crawling on it. Silly Putty Silly Putty is a toy based on silicone polymers that have unusual physical properties. It bounces, but it breaks when given a sharp blow,
