They are made of various chemiluminescent materials, a number of patents are present for glow sticks most of which are owned by American navy.

They give off light when the two chemicals are mixed together. The stocks are made of made fragile container contained within a flexible outer container. Bending the outer, flexible container breaks the inner fragile on and the two chemicals are mixed together and the glow sticks start to glow. Since the process entirely depends on chemical reaction so it has to abide by the rules of the chemical reactions like more heat will speed up and less will slower down the reactions again. So, as one would expect, keeping them in a freezer makes them dim and putting them on microwave oven makes them glow more brightly but in turn, shortens their life.
